Parking Rules: Wauwatosa vs West Allis

How many parking spaces does my Wauwatosa Airbnb need?

Section 8.62 does not set a separate STR parking ratio. The number of required off-street spaces follows the underlying residential zoning in Title 24, which generally requires the same parking as any single-family or two-family dwelling. Confirm the count for your specific zoning district with the Wauwatosa Planning & Zoning Department at (414) 479-8957.

Can my Airbnb guests park on the street overnight in Wauwatosa?

Not without a permit. Wauwatosa prohibits on-street parking between 2:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. citywide. Guests need to obtain a temporary overnight parking permit from the Wauwatosa Police Department, use your driveway or garage, or risk a citation. Hosts should include a link to the permit portal in the guest welcome materials.

Can my West Allis Airbnb guests park on the street overnight?

Not without permission. West Allis prohibits on-street parking citywide between 3:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. without a permit or written permission from the Police Department. Hosts should provide guests with the West Allis overnight parking permit information and ensure adequate off-street parking is available on the property.

Do I need to provide off-street parking for my tourist rooming house?

Yes. The West Allis Health Department reviews parking adequacy as part of the annual Tourist Rooming House license review under Wisconsin Administrative Code ATCP 72, and the property must satisfy off-street parking required for the underlying residential use under West Allis Zoning Code Section 19.44. Confirm the exact ratio with the West Allis Planning & Zoning Department.
