AB 1050 Wisconsin Assembly · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Relating to: local regulation of the short-term rental of residential dwellings.

AB 1050 repeals restrictions that previously limited local governments' ability to regulate short-term residential rentals (like Airbnb). It removes specific provisions that capped the number of days a property could be rented annually and eliminated other barriers to local rulemaking. This bill directly affects cities, towns, and counties (political subdivisions), allowing them to establish their own rules for short-term rentals without these state-imposed limits. The key change is enabling local governments to create comprehensive regulations for short-term rental operations without state-mandated restrictions.
