Kenosha County, WI Parking Rules: Street Parking Limits (2026)

30(1) lists specific places where parking, stopping, or standing is banned on county roads: within intersections, beside highway excavations or obstructions that would block traffic, on any stretch posted with no-stopping signs, and inside county parks outside designated lots. The same subsection names dozens of specific county trunk highway segments, such as stretches of County Trunk Highway F near the Fox River Bridge and County Trunk Highway C by the Trevor School, where roadside parking is banned outright regardless of signage. Subsection (2)(a) lets the county post additional time-limited parking on any highway or park lot, and subsection (3) sets detailed reserved-space rules for the eight numbered lots at the Kenosha County Civic Center in the City of Kenosha, including thirty-minute public parking in Lot 1 and permit-only Sheriff and Safety Building spaces in Lots 3, 4, and 8.

30(4) makes the registered owner presumptively liable for a parking violation on the date it occurred, unless the owner proves the vehicle was stolen, lawfully parked, sold before the violation, or covered by a valid permit. 30(5), a Sheriff's deputy who finds a vehicle creating a public nuisance, blocking traffic, or obstructing snow removal or posted construction work can require the owner to move it, or have it towed to a storage lot; release requires paying the citation or posting a bond with the Sheriff's office.

Because this is a county ordinance, it governs county trunk highways and designated county park lots, largely in the towns of Kenosha County; the City of Kenosha and the incorporated villages enforce separate parking ordinances on their own streets.
