2016 Overnight Parking Permits Now On Sale

City of Milwaukee residents who wish to park their vehicles overnight on City streets can buy their 2016 annual virtual parking permits and 4-month, first trimester permits as of today, December 18, 2015.

When residents buy the annual or 4-month overnight permit, there is no physical sticker for their vehicles.  Instead, customers will receive a confirmation number, and their license plate becomes their permit.  Parking enforcement officers scan the license plates of cars parked overnight on City streets to determine if a valid parking permit has been purchased.
