Jurisdiction and research scope
Whitefish Bay restricts street/alley parking 3–5 a.m. Trailers cannot use ordinary overnight permits; a separate Police-permission request needs approval. These selected checks do not supply complete parking or accommodation permission.

Whitefish Bay RV parking at a glance
| Location or use | What to check |
|---|---|
| An ordinary permit is not available to every vehicle | Section 6-9B(4)(d) excludes motor trucks, motor buses, motorcycles, motor delivery wagons, trailers, semitrailers, cabin trailers and tractors from ordinary overnight permits. A motorhome’s actual legal classification needs confirmation; the checker does not assume every RV is eligible or that a label alone proves a permit exists. |
| Single-night Police permission is a distinct route | Section 6-9B(5) lets residents request permission for one vehicle, up to five nights per request and twenty-five nights per calendar year per vehicle. These are request limits, not automatic permission. The ordinary-permit vehicle exclusion is not copied into this separately worded route, and the checker does not decide whether Police will approve a particular vehicle. |
| Winter side and property location matter | For December 1 through March 31, ordinary permits and single-night permission use the even/odd calendar date before midnight to determine the street side. The location must abut or be across from the relevant property. From April 1 through November 30, the ordinary location is abutting that property. Named streets, one-side-only parking and construction directions have special provisions; this checker excludes those exceptions rather than overriding them. |
| Ordinary permitted vehicles must vacate the space | Section 6-9B(4)(g) requires every vehicle issued an ordinary overnight permit to vacate the parking space at least once in every twenty-four-hour period. A special Village-owned lot arrangement requires separate review. This rule is not silently imported into single-night permission. |
Start with the street and time
Section 6-9B(1) restricts parking on Village streets and alleys during 3–5 a.m., with separate authorization and emergency exceptions. These checks do not clear daytime parking, private parcels, public parking lots or an emergency situation.
An ordinary permit is not available to every vehicle
Section 6-9B(4)(d) excludes motor trucks, motor buses, motorcycles, motor delivery wagons, trailers, semitrailers, cabin trailers and tractors from ordinary overnight permits. A motorhome’s actual legal classification needs confirmation; the checker does not assume every RV is eligible or that a label alone proves a permit exists.
Single-night Police permission is a distinct route
Section 6-9B(5) lets residents request permission for one vehicle, up to five nights per request and twenty-five nights per calendar year per vehicle. These are request limits, not automatic permission. The ordinary-permit vehicle exclusion is not copied into this separately worded route, and the checker does not decide whether Police will approve a particular vehicle.
Start with the Village’s official parking-permit instructions and confirm your RV’s classification with Police at 414-962-3830 before applying. An application is not approval. Follow the current request form’s confirmation requirements and snow-emergency restrictions; the ordinary-permit and single-night routes are not interchangeable.
Winter side and property location matter
For December 1 through March 31, ordinary permits and single-night permission use the even/odd calendar date before midnight to determine the street side. The location must abut or be across from the relevant property. From April 1 through November 30, the ordinary location is abutting that property. Named streets, one-side-only parking and construction directions have special provisions; this checker excludes those exceptions rather than overriding them.
Ordinary permitted vehicles must vacate the space
Section 6-9B(4)(g) requires every vehicle issued an ordinary overnight permit to vacate the parking space at least once in every twenty-four-hour period. A special Village-owned lot arrangement requires separate review. This rule is not silently imported into single-night permission.
Guest permits do not erase eligibility limits
Section 6-9B(4)(i) describes an April–November guest permit for certain visits longer than seven consecutive days when off-street space is unavailable. It expressly carries the ordinary vehicle-ineligibility and other listed requirements. It is not a general RV accommodation allowance. Private sleeping, storage and utility connections remain unresolved here.
Later adopted legislation checked
The official list has two August 10, 2026 adopted laws. Ordinance 1928 amends the speed table in Section 6-4A, not these overnight clauses. Ordinance 1929 creates lead-service-line replacement requirements and financing in Chapter 14. Both complete originals were read; neither supplies an RV parking permit or dwelling permission.
Who to contact for your setup
For questions about which overnight permission route, if any, covers your actual vehicle, contact the Whitefish Bay Police Department at 414-962-3830. Give the vehicle classification, curb address, proposed dates and previous permission nights; ask about the applicable request process rather than assuming an ordinary permit is available. For the separate private-property storage or proposed-use question, start with Village Building Services at 414-962-6690 and ask which requirements and reviewing office apply to your parcel and layout. These inquiries do not issue overnight permission or establish private storage, sleeping or utility approval.
Use the official sources below to confirm the exact parcel, current amendments and any special approval with Whitefish Bay. This checker does not issue permits or contact officials.
Use the Whitefish Bay parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
