Bureau Home / Time-share Sellers
The Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP) is responsible for enforcing the time-share law, Wis. Stat. Chapter 707.
Wis. Stat. § 707.02(24) defines a “time share” as a time-share estate, time-share easement, or time-share license and Wis. Stat. § 707.02(32) defines a “time-share property” as one or more time-share units subject to the same time-share instrument, together with any real estate or rights to real estate appurtenant to those units. This law includes a proof of financial responsibility requirement.
Business owners can contact the department for a packet of information outlining these requirements by calling (608) 224-4996 or (800) 422-7128 (in Wisconsin), or by e-mail at DATCPHotline@wisconsin.gov.
