Rock County requires no host to be on site during a short-term rental. Wisconsin law does not mandate host presence, and its Right to Rent statute limits how far a local government can restrict unhosted whole-home rentals.
No Rock County ordinance requires an on-site or on-call host for short-term rentals. Wisconsin's tourist rooming house framework and Wis. Stat. 66.1014 do not impose a host-presence rule, and the Right to Rent law bars any subdivision from prohibiting rentals of seven consecutive days or longer, so whole-home, unhosted stays are broadly permitted. Some cities require a local contact or responsible agent reachable during a rental as a licensing condition; this is a municipal choice, not a county rule. Check your municipal clerk for any local responsible-party requirement.
No county violation exists. Where a city requires a designated local contact, failing to provide one can lead to citations or denial of the local rental license.
