Summary
Every night between 12:01 a.m. and 7:00 a.m., Beloit Code of Ordinances § 13.03 requires vehicles parked on city streets to match the calendar date: even house numbers on even dates, odd on odd. The Central Business District bans overnight parking outright from 3 to 6 a.m.
(1)On all streets within the City between 12:01 a.m. and 7:00 a.m., vehicles shall be parked only on the even-numbered sides of the street on those days bearing an even-numbered calendar date and on the odd side of the street on those days bearing an odd-numbered calendar date. Exceptions to this section shall be:(a)Where parking is permitted only on one side of the street as indicated by official traffic signs to that effect, all vehicles shall obey such traffic signs and only park on the side of the street permitted by such traffic signs.(b)In the Central Business District, where there shall be no parking from 3:00 a.m. to 6:00 a.m. on either side of the street. ... (2)The Police Department may tow away any motor vehicle found in violation of this section. The owner or operator of a vehicle removed under this subsection shall be liable for the costs of such removal and the person having removed the vehicle may retain possession of the vehicle until the cost of towing has been paid.

Full Breakdown
Section 13.03(1) sets a citywide alternate-side rule for the hours between 12:01 a.m. and 7:00 a.m.: on a street with parking allowed on both sides, vehicles must park on the even-numbered side on even-numbered calendar dates and the odd-numbered side on odd-numbered dates, switching sides every night regardless of the day of the week. Where official signs limit parking to one side only, drivers must follow the posted signs instead of the date rule.
The ordinance carves out a separate, stricter rule for the Central Business District, defined street by street in § 13.03(1)(b) to cover the core downtown blocks along St. Lawrence, Grand, Public, Broad, St. Paul, Colby, Cross, Fourth, Third, Mill, State and Pleasant. In that zone, no vehicle may park on either side of the street between 3:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m., regardless of the calendar date or which side is otherwise open. Section 13.03(2) authorizes the Police Department to tow any vehicle found violating the section, and makes the owner or operator liable for towing costs; the towing company can hold the vehicle until those costs are paid.
Violations & Fines
Parking on the wrong side for the calendar date, or parking anywhere in the Central Business District between 3:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m., violates § 13.03 and exposes the vehicle to towing under § 13.03(2). The owner or operator bears the towing and storage cost, and the tow operator may hold the vehicle until that bill is paid in full, independent of any separate parking citation issued for the underlying violation.
