Camanche City Council recently amended the ordinances governing Snowmobiles, ATVs, UTVs, and Golf Carts.  The only City permit required for these vehicles pertains to Golf Carts.  Snowmobiles, ATVs and UTVs must have their DNR permit and meet state requirements. NOTE: ATVs are only allowed for the purpose of snow removal.  There are also some route restrictions for other vehicles which are detailed in the ordinances provided for you below.  If you have any questions, please contact the Camanche PD for guidance.  Also below you can find the permit application for Golf Carts.
