Ashwaubenon, WI Building Safety: Carbon Monoxide Detectors (2026)

Ashwaubenon's carbon monoxide detector requirement that is written directly into Village ordinance text applies to short-term rentals. Section 6-13-27(5), part of the Standards for Short-term Rentals in Chapter 6, Article 13, requires every licensed short-term rental to have functional smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors that meet Chapter SPS 321 of the Wisconsin Administrative Code. That standard sits inside a longer list of physical requirements the same Article imposes on rental units, including a safe unobstructed egress under (4), GFCI protection on 125-volt receptacles in bathrooms, garages, crawl spaces and outdoor locations under (10), and limits on fire pits, grills and wood-burning fireplaces under (6) through (9).

Compliance is checked at licensing: Section 6-13-22(C)(12) requires an annual general building inspection before the Village issues or renews a short-term rental license, and Section 6-13-30(B)(4) makes failure to comply with the annual Village building inspection requirement a ground for the Village Board to revoke the license outright. Separately, Ashwaubenon's Fire Prevention Code in Chapter 13, Article 3 adopts the state's general 'Smoke Detectors and Carbon Monoxide Detectors' standard, Wis. Admin. Code ch. SPS 328, by reference for buildings generally, but that is a wholesale adoption of the state code rather than Village-drafted text, so the specific, locally written carbon monoxide duty this page documents is the short-term rental standard in Section 6-13-27(5), not a freestanding Ashwaubenon detector ordinance for every home.
