Generally Investor friendly
Waupaca Regulations
STRs are explicitly permitted and the city tone is supportive (room tax funds tourism), but investors must clear three licensing tiers: state tourist rooming house license (annual fee plus one‑time pre‑inspection), county health permit, and a municipal permit ($25). Fees are modest and caps aren’t mentioned, though the layered approvals and inspections add moderate complexity that keeps this short of ‘very friendly’.
