Milton, WI Short-Term Rentals: Occupancy Limits (2026)

28(25). As a property management requirement, the maximum number of occupants cannot exceed the total licensed by the State of Wisconsin or two occupants per bedroom plus two additional occupants, whichever number is lower, so a state-licensed limit that is more restrictive controls over the bedroom formula. The same subsection sets the minimum rental period at seven consecutive days per party and the maximum at less than 30 consecutive days, and requires a minimum of two off-street parking spaces on-site, with one more added for each bedroom beyond two once the unit has three or more bedrooms; street parking for guests is not permitted.

Chapter 14, Article XIV separately ties occupancy to state rooming-house rules: Section 14-722(c)(4) caps occupants at the limits in Wis. Admin. 14 for hotels, motels, and tourist rooming houses, and Section 14-726(1) repeats that the occupant count may not exceed what Wis. Admin. Code Ch. ATCP 72 or other state or local rules allow. Reading the zoning formula and the licensing article together, Milton's occupancy cap is the lowest of the state rooming-house limit and the bedroom-based zoning formula.
