Ashwaubenon, WI Outdoor Cooking: BBQ & Propane Rules (2026)

The Village of Ashwaubenon regulates grill placement as one of the minimum operating standards for licensed short-term rentals under Article 13 of Chapter 6, Businesses. Section 6-13-27(7) prohibits a hibachi, gas-fired grill, charcoal grill, or other similar device used for cooking or any other purpose on any balcony, deck, or under any overhanging structure, and separately bars any such device within ten feet of any structure. The rule sits alongside the rest of the Article 13 minimum requirements a short-term rental must meet to keep its Village license, including bathroom-to-occupant ratios, off-street parking, functional smoke and carbon-monoxide detectors under Wisconsin Administrative Code Chapter SPS 321, and the separate wood-burning and gas fire pit standards in subsections (8) and (9) of the same section.

Enforcement runs through the short-term-rental licensing framework rather than a standalone citation: under Section 6-13-30(B), a violation of any Article 13 requirement, including the grill placement standard, is grounds for the Village Board to revoke, suspend, or decline to renew the property's short-term rental license, and penalties for the Article generally are set under Section 6-13-31 by reference to the Village's bond schedule for the Municipal Court. This grill-placement standard applies specifically to properties operating as licensed short-term rentals; the supplied chapters do not contain a separate general grill ordinance covering every residence or apartment in the Village outside that licensing framework, and Chapter 16, which was not supplied in this code export, could not be checked for one.
