3 rules apply — the local one first, then the county and state rules that bind alongside it.

Statewide law is covered; local ordinances remain separately curated

The current Wisconsin Chapter 704 and ATCP 134 sources supply this statewide layer. No county, city, village, town, or Nation ordinance is included merely because the authority appears in the official registry.

Local regulation coverage remains 0 until a primary ordinance is sourced, effective-dated, and joined to the exact county-qualified authority. Postal names, unmatched V12 labels, stale registries, and tribal or other ambiguous geography select only the statewide layer.

In effect since 2026-09-05.

State law limits local landlord and rental-property requirements
Wisconsinhigh confidence

Verified on 2026-09-05 — 26 days ago.

Wis. Stat. § 66.0104 withdraws local authority over specified landlord, rental-agreement, fee, inspection, registration, occupancy, and information requirements while preserving only the section's stated exceptions and uniformly applicable powers.

The statute is a subject-by-subject preemption rule, not proof that every local housing, building, zoning, fair-housing, or health ordinance is absent. Any local conclusion still requires the exact current ordinance and an exact jurisdiction match.

In effect since 2018-04-18.

Specified residential lease provisions make the agreement void and unenforceable
Wisconsinhigh confidence

Verified on 2026-09-05 — 26 days ago.

Wis. Stat. § 704.44 makes a residential rental agreement void and unenforceable if it contains any listed prohibited provision, including specified waivers, self-help remedies, attorney-fee shifting, and liability terms.

The result turns on the exact clause and the statute's complete list. This is not a conclusion that an unreviewed lease is valid or invalid.

In effect since 2014-03-01.
