There is no countywide STR registration in Waukesha County. Registration happens at the state through the DATCP tourist rooming house license, and any local registration is set by your individual city, village or town.
Wisconsin does not run a single county STR registry in Waukesha County. The controlling registration is the state DATCP tourist rooming house license, required for dwellings rented under 30 consecutive days for more than 10 nights a year. Wis. Stat. 66.1014 also expressly lets a municipality require operators to obtain a local short-term rental license in addition to the state license. So actual registration duties depend on whether your property sits in the city of Waukesha, Brookfield, Oconomowoc, a village, or an unincorporated town. Check your municipal clerk for any local registration form and fee.
Failing to hold the required state license or a mandated local registration can result in DATCP or municipal enforcement, fines, and orders to stop renting.
