A Waukesha County Tourist Rooming House license covers 1–4 sleeping units per Wisconsin ATCP 72. Wis. Stat. §66.1014 protects rentals of 7+ days from outright prohibition, but the host town may set reasonable occupancy and minimum-stay limits.
Short-term rentals in unincorporated Waukesha County are licensed as Tourist Rooming Houses under Wis. Admin. Code ATCP 72 (administered locally by the County Environmental Health Department). The county's TRH program permits licensing of properties with one to four sleeping accommodations. There is no county-wide cap on guest counts beyond ATCP 72 sanitation, life-safety, and sleeping-room standards. Wis. Stat. §66.1014 prevents counties, towns, villages, and cities from prohibiting rentals of 7 consecutive days or more, but allows local governments to limit rentals to no more than 180 days per year and to impose reasonable health, safety, parking, and occupancy regulations. Occupancy in unincorporated towns that have adopted county zoning is also subject to that town's residential occupancy and bedroom-based standards.
Exceeding the licensed sleeping-unit count or violating ATCP 72 standards may trigger inspection findings, license suspension, or non-renewal by Waukesha County Environmental Health. Town zoning enforcement may issue separate citations for occupancy violations.
