Why is there an additional $5.00 on my tax bill?  Some residents will notice an additional $5.00 POWTS (Private On-site Wastewater Treatment System) fee added to their tax bill.  Oneida County added the $5.00 fee to help cover their cost of administering the POWTS permitting and inspections.  Oneida County's Resolution 39-2021 regarding this yearly maintenance program fee can be found HERE.  If you are looking for more information or have questions, please call the Oneida County Planning & Zoning Office at 715-369-6130.
