Night Parking Restricted. No vehicle may be parked on a street or municipal parking lot between the hours of 3:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m., unless one of the following applies: The vehicle is an authorized emergency vehicle as defined in Wis. Stat. 340.01(3). The vehicle has a valid night parking permit issued by the police chief for that vehicle and proof of a night parking permit is displayed on the vehicle in a form determined by the police chief. This exception does not apply if the vehicle has a trailer attached to it. The police chief shall issue annual, quarterly, or monthly night parking permits to any eligible vehicle upon receipt of an application in a form approved by the police chief and payment of the proper fee listed in the Fee Schedule. At the time a night parking permit is issued, the police chief shall inform the vehicle owner how to display proof of that permit. All fees paid are nonrefundable. An application for a night parking permit shall include the name, home address, and phone number of the vehicle owner, the make, model, and registration plate number of the vehicle, and any other information required by the police chief. The police chief may not issue a night parking permit to any of the following vehicles:

Vehicles in excess of 8,000 pounds curb weight Mobile homes Trailers Snowmobiles All-terrain vehicles Electric personal assistive mobility devices Golf carts
