Vacation Rental Laws in Wisconsin - 2017 update
Homeowners wishing to rent out their homes as vacation rentals can look to the local level as well as state regulations.
Check local ordinances for laws about vacation rentals. If your town or city isn't on our list, contact the municipal clerk's office. If the clerk doesn't maintain the ordinances, check with the corporation counsel office or a local public library. The local building and zoning department may also be a useful contact for information about zoning restrictions or permits.
The Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade, and Consumer Protection issues permits to individuals and businesses for lodging facilities in Wisconsin. Read more at their tourist rooming houses page. Wisconsin Administrative Code chapter ATCP 72 regulates hotels, motels, and tourist rooming houses and ATCP 73 regulates bed and breakfasts.
Renters may want to check their lease for sublet or guest clauses. Legal publisher Nolo.com has a page on their website for tenants looking to use Airbnb. Nolo also has a broader interest page for homeowners: Airbnb and other short-term rentals of your home.

New Fiction at the Library
This past month we've added over sixty new books to our Prose & Cons collection, which is fiction with a law or crime-related theme.
We've added several of Robert Parker's Spenser novels, plus John Grisham, Tom Clancy, James Patterson, Clive Cussler, and more. Stop by the library to check out our display in the reading room, and find the perfect book for that last minute summer reading.
