Summary
The Village of Little Chute has no dedicated short-term rental parking ordinance, so STR guests are subject to the same Village-wide parking rules as residents. The Village's published Overnight Parking policy prohibits parking on any Village street or in any Village-owned lot from 2:00 a.m. to 6:00 a.m. between December 1 and April 1 each year. Residents and guests may request overnight parking permission through the Fox Valley Metro Police Department's online form, with each residence generally receiving up to seven (7) requests per winter season. Wis. Stat. Sec. 66.1014(2)(b) allows Little Chute to enforce this and other parking rules against STR guests because the right-to-rent statute preserves local parking authority.
WINTER PARKING RESTRICTIONS are in effect for the Villages of Little Chute and Kimberly between December 1st and April 1st between the hours of 2AM and 6AM. Each residence will generally be granted up to seven (7) requests per winter season. It is the responsibility of the vehicle owner to find legal parking for their vehicles off of the roadway.

Full Breakdown
Little Chute is policed jointly with the Village of Kimberly by the Fox Valley Metro Police Department. ' The Village offers an exception process: residents and visitors may submit an online overnight-parking request through the Village website and 'each residence will generally be granted up to seven (7) requests per winter season,' with permission automatically void during inclement weather. Parking citations are issued by the Fox Valley Metro Police Department, which can be reached at (920) 788-7505 with citations payable at the FVMPD office or in the after-hours drop box; cash, personal check, or money order are the only accepted methods of payment.
The Village does not by ordinance restrict on-street parking outside the December-April window, but Wis. Stat. Sec. 55 still applies citywide and prohibits parking on a sidewalk, in front of a public or private driveway, within an intersection, on a crosswalk, within 15 feet of a fire hydrant, or in any other location where parking is prohibited by official traffic-control device. Guest cars exceeding the host's driveway capacity must use a legal off-street space or apply for the Village overnight parking exception. The Inspections Department at 108 W Main Street confirms that driveways and parking slabs require a permit before installation under the Village's residential building permit table.
Wis. Stat. Sec. 1014(2)(b) preserves municipal authority to enforce parking ordinances against STR guests, so a host's seven-night winter exception cap is shared with the host's own household and visitors.
Violations & Fines
Overnight parking violations during the December 1 to April 1 window are issued by the Fox Valley Metro Police Department under the Village's general parking authority. Citations are issued under the Village Municipal Court bond schedule and are payable in cash, personal check, or money order at the FVMPD office at 200 W. McKinley Avenue or in the after-hours drop box. The Village's policy makes clear that 'insufficient driveway space does not qualify as a legitimate reason for consistent winter parking on roads,' so repeat overnight requests for STR guest cars can be denied. Repeated nuisance-related parking complaints can also be addressed under Chapter 28 of the Village Code and through Wis. Stat. Sec. 66.0413 abatement.
