Rock County has no county-wide STR parking ordinance. Parking standards come from the underlying town's zoning (or county zoning where the town opted in under Wis. Stat. ch. 91). Cities of Janesville and Beloit apply their own parking codes inside city limits.
Rock County does not adopt a separate parking standard for short-term rentals at the county level. Wisconsin counties may zone unincorporated towns only where the town has opted into county zoning under Wis. Stat. ch. 91. In opt-in towns, Rock County Planning, Economic & Community Development applies the standard residential parking requirements of the underlying zoning district. In towns that retained their own zoning, the town's residential parking standards govern. STRs inside the city limits of Janesville or Beloit follow each city's residential off-street parking minimums. Throughout the county, on-street guest parking must comply with town and Rock County Sheriff rules and may not block driveways, fire hydrants, mailboxes, or fire-apparatus access lanes. Many towns also impose seasonal overnight parking bans for snow removal.
On-street parking violations are typically town or sheriff citations issued under the Wisconsin uniform traffic citation schedule. Repeated parking complaints can be considered during TRH license renewal review by Rock County Public Health.
