Waukesha County and Wisconsin set no statewide STR liability-insurance mandate. Some cities and villages require proof of liability coverage as a local licensing condition. DATCP tourist rooming house licensing focuses on health and safety, not insurance.
Neither Waukesha County nor Wisconsin state law mandates a specific liability-insurance amount for short-term rentals as a general requirement. The DATCP tourist rooming house license centers on health and safety inspection standards under ATCP 72, not insurance. However, some municipalities condition a local STR license on proof of liability coverage, so requirements vary by city, village or town. Hosts should confirm that their homeowner or landlord policy covers commercial short-term rental activity, since standard homeowner policies often exclude it, and check whether their platform (Airbnb, Vrbo) provides supplemental host protection.
Failing to carry insurance required as a local license condition can bar or revoke the municipal STR license; uninsured claims fall on the owner.
