Permits and local rules

Within city limits, contact the City of Sacramento Community Development Department (Planning and Building). In unincorporated areas such as Arden-Arcade, Carmichael and Rio Linda, contact Sacramento County Planning and Environmental Review. Requirements depend on zoning, how long the container will stay and how it will be used, so check before your delivery date. We can provide dimensions and specifications for your application.

Climate tips for Sacramento

Sacramento summers regularly exceed 100°F. For anything more than basic storage, consider light-colored paint, roof vents or an insulated unit to keep interior temperatures manageable.

Preparing your Sacramento site

  • Level, firm ground – compacted gravel, concrete or blocks under the corners.
  • A straight, clear approach of about 75 ft for a 20ft and up to 100 ft for a 40ft.
  • Roughly 14 ft of overhead clearance, free of wires and branches.
  • Someone on site to show the driver the exact spot and door direction.
