Storage Container Permit

Obtain an On-Demand Storage Container Permit

On-demand storage containers, sometimes called PODs, are a popular solution for moving and storing furniture and other possessions. These containers require a permit from the City's Code Enforcement Division. A permit triggers an inspection of the container to ensure it is placed legally and safely and removed in a reasonable amount of time.
