Green Bay, WI Short-Term Rentals: Short-Term Rental Permits (2026)

Before advertising or renting a short-term rental, the property owner or local representative must obtain a City of Green Bay STR permit (STRP) from the Department of Community and Economic Development, plus proof of Brown County room-tax registration with the City Treasurer, Brown County Health Department registration, proof of insurance, and a compliant lease template covering parking and noise. A required STRP placard listing the local representative's name and phone number must be visible from the street. Occupancy is capped at the state Uniform Dwelling Code bedroom limits, and the permit is tied to the owner: it terminates automatically on sale of the property. Permits expire yearly on July 1 and must be renewed.
