Parking Rules: Burlington vs Racine

Where can my Airbnb guests park overnight in Burlington WI?

Guests may park on the street consistent with Chapter 293's alternate-side rule (even/odd date matched to house number), but not in the Central Business District between 2:00 a.m. and 5:00 a.m., and not on any street, alley, or municipal lot between 10:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. once a snow event of three or more inches is declared. Off-street parking on the rental lot is the safest default.

Do Burlington WI short-term rentals have to provide off-street parking?

There is no STR-specific stall requirement. The underlying zoning district under Chapter 315 sets the minimum off-street parking for the dwelling - typically two stalls for a single-family unit. Wis. Stat. §66.1014 lets the City apply these neutral parking standards to short-term rentals.

Can my Racine Airbnb guests park on the street overnight?

Only if they follow the alternate-side rule. Racine bans overnight on-street parking between 2:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. unless the vehicle is on the correct side: the even-numbered address side on even calendar days and the odd-numbered side on odd days. From April 2 through November 30 the rule runs Monday through Friday; from December 1 through April 1 it runs seven days a week. Standard violations carry a $30 fine under Section 94-15.

Are STR guests exempt from Racine parking rules under the state right-to-rent law?

No. Wisconsin Statute 66.1014 prevents the City of Racine from prohibiting short-term rentals of seven consecutive days or longer, but it expressly preserves the city's authority over parking. Racine's alternate-side overnight parking ordinance in Chapter 94 applies to STR guests exactly as it applies to year-round residents, and citations are issued by the Racine Police Department.
