Milwaukee Alternate Side Parking & Night Parking Permit Defense
Milwaukee enforces overnight (2 AM - 6 AM) parking restrictions citywide, alternate-side parking during snow/sweeping, and requires a Night Parking Permit for non-residents under Milwaukee Code §101-25. Defenses commonly succeed when: (1) a valid Night Parking Permit was obtained but not properly noted by the enforcement officer; (2) a 15-Day Temporary Permit is valid but enforcement system did not reflect it; (3) the resident's address-based permit area was misidentified; (4) the alternate-side rotation was unclear due to unposted/obscured signage. Milwaukee's Night Parking Permit system is online (city.milwaukee.gov/parkingpermits) and easy to verify.
Legal basis
Milwaukee Code of Ordinances §101-25; §101-25.5 (night parking permits); Wis. Stat. §346.02
Sample appeal wording

Details: - Permit Type: [Annual / 15-Day / Daily] - Permit Confirmation #: [NUMBER] - Permit Zone: [ZONE — matching citation location] - Date Range: [DATES] - Vehicle: [PLATE — matching citation] The enforcement officer's record incorrectly shows no permit. Confirmation email from city.milwaukee.gov is attached as Exhibit A. Under Milwaukee Code §101-25.5, a valid permit exempts the vehicle from overnight parking restrictions. The citation must be dismissed. [NAME]
