Short-Term Rental Regulations
in Warrens, WI

Airbnb listings are allowed in Warrens, WI, but with restrictions. STRs are conditional uses in residential districts (R-3) requiring Plan Commission approval, while permitted in Commercial/Recreational (CR) and Business (B) districts. The Plan Commission may impose conditions such as landscaping, parking requirements, operational hours, and deed restrictions; properties must also comply with state administrative codes for septic and water where municipal utilities are unavailable. 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. See the official source linked on this page for full requirements. Last verified 2026-05-14.
