Greenfield, WI Short-Term Rentals: Parking Rules (2026)

Greenfield permits overnight on-street parking year-round on most streets, unlike many neighboring Milwaukee-area cities, but enforces a strict alternate-side rule: motor vehicles parked overnight must be on the even-numbered side of the street on nights bearing an even calendar date (before midnight) and on the odd-numbered side on nights bearing an odd calendar date, with handicap-marked spaces exempt. Enforcement runs between 2:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. During declared snow emergencies, parking is prohibited on designated emergency thoroughfares (including S. 27th Street, S. 35th Street, S. 43rd Street and W. Morgan Avenue) from declaration until plowing is completed; on all other city streets the alternate-side rule extends through noon the following day rather than only until 6:00 a.m. Vehicles left on the street unmoved for more than 48 hours are considered abandoned and may be ticketed and towed. STR hosts should brief guests with multiple vehicles on this rotation in advance because guest cars exceeding the driveway capacity must rotate sides each night to avoid citations. Wisconsin Statute 66.1014 prevents Greenfield from prohibiting STRs of seven consecutive days or longer but expressly preserves municipal authority over parking, so STR operators must ensure guest parking complies with the alternate-side rule, snow emergency rules, and the Greenfield Zoning Code requirements for off-street parking on a residential lot. STR hosts licensed as Tourist Rooming Houses by DATCP under Wis. Admin. Code ATCP 72 are also expected to provide adequate off-street parking for the listed occupancy.
