Parking Rules: Fitchburg vs Sun Prairie

How many parking spaces does my Fitchburg short-term rental need?

Fitchburg has not adopted an STR-specific off-street parking minimum. Hosts rely on the parking provided for the underlying dwelling under Chapter 22 (Zoning), which sets parking ratios by housing type. Disclose driveway capacity to guests so they do not block sidewalks or violate the winter on-street parking ban.

Can my Airbnb guests park on the street in Fitchburg?

Yes, subject to the general traffic code. Fitchburg enforces a winter overnight parking restriction (typically December 1 – March 15, 2:00 a.m. – 6:00 a.m.) for snow removal that applies to all vehicles, including guest vehicles. Vehicles in violation can be cited or towed by Fitchburg Police.

Can my Sun Prairie STR guests park on the street overnight?

Generally yes outside of winter, but vehicles cannot be left on a city street for longer than 48 hours without being moved. From December 1 through March 31, designated Snow Routes are no-parking zones from midnight to 7:00 a.m. and during any declared snow emergency parking is banned on every city street until the emergency is cancelled (a $50 fine applies).

Does Sun Prairie have a short-term rental parking ordinance?

No. The City of Sun Prairie's FAQ confirms that the city does not currently have a short-term rental use or license defined by city ordinance, so STR guest parking follows the same Title 10 rules as any other vehicle. Wisconsin Statute 66.1014 preserves the city's authority to enforce parking rules against STR guests even though it caps how the rental itself can be regulated.
