Neenah, WI Parking Rules: Overnight Parking (2026)

Sec. 16-90(d) of the Neenah Municipal Code starts with a flat rule: no person shall park any vehicle between 12:00 a.m. midnight and 5:00 a.m. The ban applies on City streets and covers any vehicle, so it is not limited to trucks, trailers or commercial vehicles.

The main exception is alternate side parking. It is available only in residential areas defined as R-1, R-2, M-1 and M-2 on Neenah's Official Zoning District Map, so the zoning of the block decides whether the exception is open to a driver at all. In those areas, a vehicle may be parked on the even-numbered side of the street on even-numbered days and on the odd-numbered side on odd-numbered days. The ordinance measures the day "before 12:00 a.m. midnight," so the calendar date of the evening when the car is parked decides which curb is legal for that night. A driver parking on the evening of an even-numbered date uses the even-numbered side. A driver parking on the evening of an odd-numbered date uses the odd-numbered side.

Two more exceptions apply in the same R-1, R-2, M-1 and M-2 districts. One-sided streets get a blanket exemption. Culs-de-sac allow overnight parking from April 1 through October 31, which leaves the midnight ban in force on culs-de-sac for the rest of the year.

The Neenah Police Department can also grant temporary permission in unusual circumstances. The overnight rule traces to Ord. No. 2017-06, adopted Feb. 1, 2017.
