Full Breakdown

Three separate provisions in Article III of Chapter 26 govern overnight and long-stay parking in the Village of Little Chute, outside the December to April all-night ban.

Municipal lots, § 26-70(d): no vehicle can remain continuously parked in a municipal public parking lot for longer than 12 hours, and no person can park there between 2:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. The two limits stack, so a car that arrives at midnight has to be gone before 2:00 a.m. even though 12 hours have not run.

Twenty-four-hour limit, § 26-70(e): no person can park or leave standing any automobile, truck, tractor, trailer or other vehicle on any public street or public property in the village for 24 or more consecutive hours in the same location. Where a more restrictive parking limit has been established, the more restrictive limit applies. Section 26-63(e) closes the obvious workaround: after a posted limit expires, a move of not more than one stall is itself a violation.

Industrial Park, § 26-77(a): adopted under Wis. Stats. § 349.13 by Ord. No. 3 (Ser. of 2019) on 6-5-2019, this rule bans parking from 2:00 a.m. to 6:00 a.m. on the posted streets of the Little Chute Industrial Park. Signs go up at four entrance way streets: Moasis Drive and Buchanan Street, Eisenhower Drive and Buchanan Street, Lamers Drive and East North Avenue, and Bohm Drive and East North Avenue. The covered streets are Moasis Drive east of Buchanan Street, Eisenhower Drive, East Elm Drive east of Nixon Street, Nixon Street, Hamilton Court, Stephen Street, Bohm Drive, Truman Court and Lamers Drive. Unlike the seasonal ban in § 26-70(b), which applies to every village street between December 1 and April 1 once signs are erected near the corporate limits, the Industrial Park text carries no seasonal window.

A vehicle parked in violation of Article III is declared a hazard under § 26-74, and an officer can have it removed. The owner pays the actual moving, towing and storage costs. Citations for nonmoving violations are issued by law enforcement officers or by civilian employees of the police department under § 26-132(b)(2).

Violations & Fines

Under § 26-131(d)(2)a, forfeitures for § 26-70(d) and (e) follow the general penalties in § 1-12 and/or the Village Fees, Deposits and Charges Schedule (appendix C), and a forfeiture unpaid after ten days can lead to vehicle registration suspension. Section 26-77 is not named in the other subsections of § 26-131(d)(2), so the catch-all applies: not less than $20.00, rising to $35.00 after ten days. Towing and storage costs are added.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I leave a car in a Little Chute public parking lot overnight?
No. Section 26-70(d) bars parking in a municipal public parking lot between 2:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m., and separately limits any continuous stay to 12 hours. Both limits apply at once, so a vehicle left after midnight is in violation once 2:00 a.m. arrives.
Which Industrial Park streets have the 2:00 a.m. to 6:00 a.m. parking ban?
Section 26-77(a)(2) lists Moasis Drive east of Buchanan Street, Eisenhower Drive, East Elm Drive east of Nixon Street, Nixon Street, Hamilton Court, Stephen Street, Bohm Drive, Truman Court and Lamers Drive. Signs are posted at the four entrance way streets rather than at each block.
How long can a vehicle sit on a Little Chute street before it violates the code?
Section 26-70(e) prohibits leaving any vehicle on a public street or public property for 24 or more consecutive hours in the same location. A more restrictive posted limit overrides it, and under § 26-63(e) a move of one stall or less after a limit expires still counts as a violation.
Does the winter all-night ban in Little Chute work the same way?
No. Section 26-70(b) bans parking on any village street between 2:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. from December 1 to April 1, once signs are erected at or near the corporate limits. Emergency vehicles are excepted, and the chief of police can lift or suspend the restriction for cause.
Does Outagamie County regulate parking on these streets?
No. These rules are adopted by the Village of Little Chute and enforced by the village police department, with cases heard in municipal court. Section 26-77 cites Wis. Stats. § 349.13 as its authority. Neighboring Appleton and other Outagamie County municipalities have their own separate parking codes.
