There is no countywide overnight parking ban. Overnight and winter on-street parking restrictions are set by each municipality. Many Waukesha County communities prohibit overnight or snow-season street parking, so check your city or village ordinance.
Waukesha County does not impose a general overnight parking ban on public streets — that authority belongs to the municipalities and towns under Wisconsin law. Many communities in the county do restrict overnight street parking (commonly 2:00–6:00 a.m.) or impose winter/snow-emergency bans to allow plowing, but the specific hours, dates, and permit exceptions vary by community. On private residential property in the unincorporated towns, the county zoning code limits how vehicles and RVs may be stored (§3.12), but does not ban overnight parking of a resident's own licensed, operable vehicles. For street rules where you live, consult your municipal parking chapter.
Overnight/winter parking fines and tow-away are set by each municipality; the county levies none for on-street overnight parking.
