The area sees a variety of properties thriving in the short-term rental market, including cabins in rural settings, which offer scenic views and access to outdoor activities, particularly appealing to tourists. The business environment is predominantly shaped by tourism due to the county's proximity to attractions like the Black Hills and recreational lakes, attracting travelers more than business guests, although some business travel does occur. Property owners must comply with local zoning ordinances and state regulations, including collecting sales and tourism taxes, and are responsible for obtaining any necessary local permits or business licenses.
