Transient Tourism Room Tax

The Town of Siren has recently passed an ordinance creating an 8% room tax on gross revenues from rental activity at your property. This tax should be considered a “pass through” cost charged to your rental customers. Per WI State Statute 66.0615, 75% of the taxes collected will be spent to increase overnight stays resulting from additional tourism traffic, acting as a self-funded marketing program to help grow your business.

Ordinance Overview & Definitions

In accordance with SS 66.0615 Wis. Stats., Town of Siren, Wisconsin, imposes a tax on the provision of rooms or lodging to transients by hotel keepers, motel operators, and other accommodation providers. This tax applies to short-term rentals, defined as residential dwellings or hotel/motel accommodations rented for less than 30 consecutive days.
