City Ordinances

The City parking and zoning ordinances establish acceptable standards to protect the appearance and safety of residential neighborhoods that benefit homeowners, other residents and visitors. Violation of these ordinances degrades the appearance and residential feel of our neighborhoods, which in turn, discourages homeowners from maintaining and reinvesting in their homes.

City ordinances state that there shall be:

• No parking vehicles, trailers, motor homes, etc except on a hard surface (asphalt, concrete, brick, concrete pavers or pre-existing gravel driveways, which are maintained and free of ruts, potholes and not expanded in area). Parking is allowed in the side and rear yards on a hard surface, with a minimum setback of 2 1/2 feet from the side and rear lot lines (there is no parking setback requirement for rear yards backing up to an alley).
• No parking across the sidewalk. State of Wisconsin statute 346.52 (1)(d) states: "No person may stop or leave standing any vehicle, whether attended or unattended and whether temporarily or otherwise, in any of the following places: On sidewalk or sidewalk area, except when parking on the sidewalk or sidewalk area is clearly indicated by official traffic signs or markers or parking meters."
• No parking overnight on the street. Parking is prohibited between the hours of 3 a.m. and 5 a.m. year-round in the City of Green Bay.
• No parking of inoperable or unlicensed vehicles in driveways, yards or along alleys. Parking of inoperable vehicles and/or vehicles without a license plate with a current sticker is prohibited on residential lots unless the vehicle is kept inside a garage. All vehicles, boats, campers, etc., should be properly licensed if stored outside.
