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

West Allis prohibits on-street parking citywide between 3:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. unless the vehicle has a parking permit or written permission from the Police Department. Short-term rental guests parking on residential streets are subject to this rule the same as any resident or visitor. Wisconsin Statute 66.1014 prevents West Allis from banning STRs of seven days or longer, but expressly preserves municipal authority over parking and zoning, so off-street parking adequacy is part of the annual license review by the West Allis Health Department under Wisconsin Administrative Code ATCP 72. Tourist rooming house operators must comply with the off-street parking required for the underlying residential use under West Allis Zoning Code Subchapter IV (Sec. 19.44 Vehicle Parking) and may not let guests block alleys, sidewalks or fire lanes. Operators should give guests a written copy of the West Allis overnight parking rule and the link or phone number to request a temporary on-street parking permission, and should make sure the guest count does not exceed available off-street capacity. Confirm specific permit procedures and fees with the West Allis Police Department non-emergency line and confirm zoning-based off-street parking ratios with the West Allis Planning & Zoning Department.
