To help maintain the integrity of Shorewood's rental housing, the city requires a rental dwelling license for all rental dwellings, single family through multi-family. A rental dwelling license is valid for three years. The City verifies that the property is registered for occupancy and meets the standards set forth in Section 1004 of the City Code.
Short-term rentals (those under 30 days) are prohibited in Shorewood.
To apply for a rental license, please visit the Rental Licensing Portal.
