Waukesha County does not run its own on-street parking program. Parking on public streets is regulated by the city, village, or town where the street sits, so rules on time limits, permits, and winter bans differ by community.
Wisconsin gives on-street parking authority to municipalities and towns, not to the county. Waukesha County's enforceable powers cover zoning of unincorporated towns, shoreland and floodplain lands, health, solid waste, animals, and county parks — not everyday curb parking in your neighborhood. For street parking limits, resident permits, and alternate-side or winter rules, look to your municipal code: the City of Waukesha, Brookfield, New Berlin, Menomonee Falls, and each village and town publish their own parking chapters. County sheriff's deputies do enforce state traffic and abandoned-vehicle law under Wis. Stat. 342.40, but the county sets no general on-street parking ordinance.
Fines and towing are set by each municipality's parking chapter; the county does not issue routine street-parking tickets.
