Operating a short-term rental in the Village of Egg Harbor requires a three-tiered licensing and registration process: a state Tourist Rooming House license, a county Room Tax permit, and an annual Village STR license. The total tax rate is 13.5%, and operators must pass a village inspection and adhere to strict occupancy limits and safety standards.
To host an Airbnb in Egg Harbor, you'll need to get three main permits before you start: one from the State of Wisconsin, one for room taxes from Door County, and a final license from the Village of Egg Harbor. The village requires an initial safety inspection of your property and proof of $1 million in liability insurance. Be sure to calculate your maximum guest count carefully (2 per bedroom plus 2) and include your village license number in your online listing once you get it.
