For single-family homes, grilling is generally unrestricted. On multi-family premises the Town of Waukesha bans charcoal, propane and open-flame grills except on the ground floor at least 20 feet from any dwelling or combustible material; above the first floor only electric grills are allowed.
Waukesha County sets no countywide barbecue rule; single-family backyard grilling with propane or charcoal is left to the homeowner and general fire safety. The real restrictions apply to apartments and condos. Under Town of Waukesha Sec. 5-2-8(g), it is unlawful to use any outdoor fire at a multi-family dwelling, including charcoal or propane cooking grills and outdoor fireplaces, except that on balconies or patios above one story only electric grills without an open flame are allowed, and on the ground floor an outdoor fire is allowed only if it is at least 20 feet from the dwelling unit or any combustible material. These mirror the state fire code (SPS/NFPA) limits many municipalities adopt for multi-unit buildings.
Using a prohibited grill on multi-family premises is unlawful and subject to a municipal forfeiture.
