Challenging to Investors
STRs are permitted but limited to owner‑occupied primary residences and require a $623 initial permit and $260 annual renewal plus joint health, fire and building inspections each year. While the city promotes compliance, the strict occupancy rule and recurring inspection costs create substantial barriers for investors, placing Racine in the Challenging category.

Kenosha ( kə-NO-shə) is a city in the U.S. state of Wisconsin and the seat of Kenosha County. Per the 2020 census, the population was 99,986 which made it the fourth-most populous city in Wisconsin. Situated on the southwestern shore of Lake Michigan, Kenosha is a satellite city within the greater Milwaukee metropolitan area, and is located roughly 40 miles south of Milwaukee and 66 miles north of Chicago; Interstate 94 runs along Kenosha's western border.Kenosha was once a center of industrial activity; it was home to large automotive factories which fueled its economy during the 20th century. Like some other Rust Belt cities, Kenosha lost these factories in the 1980s, causing it to gradually transition into a services-based economy. In the 2010s, the city and surrounding county have benefited from an expanding economy and increased job growth. It is home to the headquarters of the Fortune 1000 tool manufacturer Snap-on Inc., as well as the clothing company Jockey International. Kenosha is home to multiple educational institutions including the University of Wisconsin–Parkside, Herzing University, Carthage College, and Gateway Technical College. Residents of the city are called Kenoshans.
