Full Breakdown

Tourist housing in Neenah is governed by Chapter 26 Article XV of the Neenah Municipal Code (Ordinance No. 2017-09). Section 26-661(1) requires at least two designated off-street parking spots on the tourist housing property for guests as a condition of the tourist housing permit. The Department of Community Development reviews parking adequacy when issuing the permit under Section 26-662 and may revoke the permit under Section 26-663(1) for non-compliance. Citywide overnight parking rules administered by the Neenah Parking Utility apply equally to tourist housing guests.

and follows alternate-side dates: vehicles must park on the even house-numbered side of the street on even calendar dates and on the odd house-numbered side on odd dates. Cul-de-sacs and single-sided streets are exempt from the alternate-side rule but still subject to a 24-hour maximum-stay limit. Overnight on-street parking is prohibited at all times in the downtown, industrial parks and other business districts, where the Blue Lot and Green Ramp are available year-round; other downtown lots are open for overnight use only between April 1 and October 31, and park lots never permit overnight parking.

Hosts and guests needing exceptions can call the Neenah Police Department at (920) 886-6000 for permission. 1014 prevents Neenah from prohibiting tourist housing rentals of seven consecutive days or longer but expressly preserves the city's authority over parking, so guest cars exceeding the two on-property spots must use legal off-street alternatives or call for permission.

Violations & Fines

Overnight on-street parking citations are issued by the Neenah Police Department under the citywide parking rules administered by the Parking Utility. Failure to maintain the two designated off-street guest parking spots required by Section 26-661(1) of the Neenah Municipal Code is grounds for the Director of Community Development to revoke a tourist housing permit under Section 26-663(1). Repeated parking-related complaints may also be reviewed at the annual Section 26-664 inspection by the Department of Community Development.
