PUBLIC ACCOMMODATIONS
 Public accommodations are licensed by the State of Montana and include hotels, motels, bed and breakfast facilities, and vacation rentals. This program is administered by county environmental health departments. The goal of the program is to ensure clean and safe accommodations for our state visitors.
In addition to general cleanliness, accommodations are reviewed prior to licensing for safe water systems, adequate wastewater systems, and fire safety. Local zoning regulations may restrict public accommodations in some areas or require Conditional Use Permits. See the contact number below for the Lake County Planning Department.
