Waukesha County sets no countywide STR occupancy cap. Limits come from your city, village or town and from state DATCP tourist rooming house health-and-safety standards. Wis. Stat. 66.1014 bars locals from effectively banning rentals of 7+ days.
Wisconsin does not fix a statewide guest-count limit for short-term rentals, and Waukesha County imposes no countywide occupancy cap. Occupancy is shaped by two things: DATCP tourist rooming house rules (ATCP 72), which set health and safety standards tied to the dwelling's capacity, and any occupancy limits your specific municipality adopts. Municipalities may regulate rentals but, under Wis. Stat. 66.1014, may not prohibit renting a residential dwelling for 7 consecutive days or longer. For rentals of 6 to 30 days, a municipality may cap the number of rental days per year to no fewer than 180.
Exceeding a local occupancy limit or DATCP capacity standard can lead to municipal citations, fines, or DATCP license action.
