Outagamie County does not publish a county-wide STR occupancy cap. Maximum guest counts are governed by the property’s state Tourist Rooming House license under Wis. Admin. Code ATCP 72, set by Outagamie County Public Health during the pre-license inspection.
Wis. Stat. §66.1014 (the right-to-rent law) prohibits Wisconsin local governments from outright banning rentals of 7+ consecutive days, but allows enforcement of safety and occupancy standards. Outagamie County does not impose a separate numeric occupancy cap in its zoning code. Instead, occupancy is set per-property through the Tourist Rooming House license under ATCP 72. Outagamie County Environmental Health Sanitarians inspect bedroom counts, egress windows, smoke and CO detector placement, and bunk-bed compliance, all of which constrain occupancy. Outagamie County administers the County Zoning Ordinance (Chapter 54) in 13 of 19 townships that have opted in under Wis. Stat. ch. 60/91. Towns that retained their own zoning may impose additional density rules. Confirm your property’s licensed occupancy at 920-832-5100.
Exceeding the licensed occupancy can trigger ATCP 72 enforcement, including forfeitures under Wis. Stat. ch. 97 and possible TRH license suspension or revocation by Outagamie County Public Health.
