Waukesha Regulations
STRs are explicitly allowed under Wisconsin law with a straightforward DATCP Tourist Rooming House license (1–4 units, $110 annual + $300 one‑time pre‑inspection), and municipalities like New Berlin impose additional local licensing, inspections, and occupancy/parking rules, but fees/caps remain manageable and state law limits municipalities to at least 180 rental days per year and prevents outright bans for stays of 7+ days.
