Short-Term Rental Regulations
in Phillips, WI

Airbnb listings are allowed in Phillips, WI, but with restrictions. Price County requires a valid Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for all short-term rentals of single-family residences. Key constraints include mandatory collection of state and local taxes, adherence to maximum occupancy limits specified in the permit, a prohibition on overnight occupancy of tents or RVs on the property, and a requirement that all guest parking be contained within designated on-site areas rather than public roads. A permit is required before you can host. These rules apply to all short-term rental platforms (Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com, etc.) — not just Airbnb specifically.
