There is no Milwaukee County short-term rental registry. Hosts register with the state through the DATCP tourist rooming house license and, if the local ordinance requires it, with their city, village, or town. Registration duties follow Wis. Stat. 66.1014.
Milwaukee County maintains no countywide registration system for short-term rentals. Registration in Wisconsin occurs at two levels. At the state level, a host operating more than 10 nights per year must be licensed as a tourist rooming house by DATCP, which defines it as any lodging place where sleeping accommodations are offered for pay to tourists or transients, including a one- or two-family dwelling, a condominium unit, or a place with four or fewer keyed units. At the municipal level, Wis. Stat. 66.1014 lets a city, village, or town require its own STR license through its health or licensing department. Paperwork and renewal cycles vary by municipality. Verify with both DATCP and your host municipality.
Failing to obtain or renew the DATCP license, or to register with a municipality that requires it, can lead to cease-operation orders, denial or revocation of the license, and fines under Wis. Stat. ch. 97 and the local ordinance.
