Short-term rental guests in Mosinee must comply with the city's seasonal overnight parking ban: on-street parking is prohibited from 2:00 a.m. to 6:00 a.m. until April 1, with alternate-side rules tied to the calendar date. On-street parking in general is governed by Chapter 78, Article III of the Mosinee Code (Stopping, Standing and Parking). Wis. Stat. 66.1014(2)(b) preserves Mosinee's authority to enforce parking rules against short-term rental guests even though the same statute prevents Mosinee from banning rentals of seven days or longer.
Mosinee enforces its on-street parking rules under Chapter 78 of the Code of Ordinances, Article III - Stopping, Standing and Parking. The city's seasonal overnight parking program prohibits parking on any city street between 2:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. until April 1, with vehicles required to park on the even-numbered side of the street on even calendar dates and the odd-numbered side on odd calendar dates; violators are subject to ticketing and towing at the vehicle owner's expense (reported by Wausau Pilot & Review, February 28, 2019, citing the Mosinee parking rules in effect). The Mosinee Public Works Department is reachable at 715-693-3840 or publicworks@mosinee.wi.us for parking-permit questions. When the city declares a snow emergency, parking is prohibited on all city streets for the duration of the emergency to allow snow removal; the emergency typically takes effect at a stated time and is announced through the city's website and local media (see WAOW coverage of the 2023 Mosinee snow emergency). Wis. Stat. 66.1014(2)(b) preserves Mosinee's authority to enforce parking rules against short-term rental guests, so guest cars exceeding the on-site driveway capacity must use legal off-street spaces or comply with the seasonal overnight rule. Operators must also satisfy any off-street parking requirements imposed by the underlying residential zoning district under Chapter 42, Article II of the Code, and must disclose available on-site parking when applying for a Tourist Rooming House license through the Marathon County Health Department under Wis. Admin. Code ATCP 72.
Overnight parking citations are issued by the Mosinee Police Department under Chapter 78, Article III of the Code of Ordinances. Vehicles parked on city streets during a declared snow emergency or in violation of the 2:00 a.m. to 6:00 a.m. seasonal overnight rule are subject to ticketing and towing at the vehicle owner's expense. A pattern of parking complaints tied to a tourist rooming house may be reviewed by the Marathon County Health Department at annual TRH license renewal and reported to DATCP. Wis. Stat. 66.1014(2)(b) does not shield STR guests from these enforcement actions.
