On-street parking in Milwaukee County is governed by each city and village and by Wisconsin Statutes, not the county. Milwaukee County's parking authority applies to roads and lots inside county parks and on county-owned grounds.
Wisconsin law places on-street parking regulation with local authorities. Under Wis. Stat. 349.13(1e)(a), local authorities, with respect to highways under their jurisdiction, may within the police power prohibit, limit the time of, or otherwise restrict the stopping, standing or parking of vehicles. In practice this means the City of Milwaukee (Chapter 101 Traffic Code) and the suburban municipalities set meters, time limits, permit zones and posted restrictions on public streets. Milwaukee County directly controls parking only on park drives and county-owned lots. For a specific block, follow the posted signs and your municipality's traffic code.
Street-parking tickets are issued by the city or village whose street it is, with fines and towing set locally. Inside county parks, rangers and the Sheriff enforce road and lot parking, and violators may be ticketed or towed.
