Licenses and permits— See Ch. 192.
Any and all persons other than masseurs or masseuses who render any service for the licensee and who receive compensation directly from the licensee but have no physical contact with customers or clients.
Any establishment having its place of business where any person, firm, association or corporation engages in or carries on, or permits to be engaged or carried on, any of the activities mentioned in the definition of "massage" hereof.
Any person who, for any consideration whatever, engages in the practice of massage as above defined.
It shall be unlawful for any person to engage in, conduct or carry on, or to permit to be engaged in, conducted or carried on, upon any premises in the Town of Cedarburg, the operation of a massage establishment as herein defined without first having obtained a license from the Town Clerk which shall be issued upon written application and which shall be subject to cancellation as hereinafter provided.
Every applicant for a license to maintain, operate or conduct a massage establishment shall file an application in triplicate, under oath, with the Town Clerk upon a form provided by the Town and pay a fee as set by the Town Board to the Town Clerk, who shall issue a receipt which shall be attached to the application filed with the Town Clerk. The Town Clerk shall forthwith refer copies of such application and all additional information to the building, plumbing, electrical and fire inspectors. These officials shall, within 30 days, inspect the premises proposed to be operated as a massage establishment and make recommendations to the Town Board concerning compliance with Town ordinances. After review by the Town Board pursuant to § 200-4, the Town Clerk shall notify the applicant as to whether his application has been granted, denied or held for further investigation or corrective action. The period held for corrective action or additional investigation shall not exceed an additional 30 days unless otherwise agreed to by the applicant. At the conclusion of such period or such longer period if agreed to, the Town Clerk shall advise the applicant in writing as to whether the application has been granted or denied. If the application is denied, the Town Clerk shall advise the applicant in writing of the reason for such denial.
The failure or refusal of the applicant to give any information relevant to the investigation of the application within a reasonable time, or the refusal or failure of the applicant to appear at any reasonable time and place for examination under oath regarding said application, or the refusal of the applicant to submit to or cooperate with any inspection required by this section, shall be grounds for denial of the application.
The application for a license to operate a massage establishment shall set forth the services to be administered and the proposed place and facilities thereof. In addition thereto, any applicant for a license, which shall be the sole proprietor, if a sole proprietor applicant, a partner, if a partnership applicant, and the designated agent, if a corporate applicant, shall furnish the following information:
Current residential addresses.
Whether the individual has had any license denied, revoked or suspended elsewhere for a massage establishment, the reason therefor, and the business activity of occupation of the individual subsequent to each suspension, revocation or denial.
Upon receipt of the recommendations of the respective agencies and with the information contained in the application, together with all additional information provided therein, the Town Board may issue, after receipt of the recommendations of the respective Town departments and public hearing, a license to maintain, operate or conduct a massage establishment, unless the Board finds that:
The operation of the massage establishment as proposed by the applicant, if permitted, would not comply with the applicable laws of the State of Wisconsin and the Town, including but not limited to the building, health, planning, housing, fire prevention and zoning codes of the Town.
Any massage establishment as defined herein shall construct its facilities and maintain the same in accordance with the following regulations. If any provision of this section is inconsistent with a comparable and applicable provision of the Building Code, the provision of the Building Code shall govern to the extent of such inconsistency.
The establishment shall permit inspection of the premises at any time during business hours by building, plumbing, fire and health inspectors and law enforcement officers.
Entrance doors during business hours shall be open to the public the same as any other business.[1]

§ 200-6 State certification required. [1]
Any person who engages in the practice of massage as herein defined shall be certified under Ch. 460, Wis. Stats.
No massage establishment in the Town shall be permitted to remain open for any purpose between 1:00 a.m. and 8:00 a.m., except during that period of the year for which the standard of time is advanced under the Wisconsin Statutes when the premises shall be closed between 2:00 a.m. and 8:00 a.m.
