Container Delivery in Minneapolis

The 55401 ZIP code downtown is 3.7 miles from Container One's Minneapolis depot. Deliveries reach Hennepin, Anoka, Wright, Carver and Scott counties. Delivery areas include North Loop, Marcy Holmes, Northeast Park, Seward, Longfellow, Powderhorn Park, Linden Hills, Folwell and Shingle Creek.

Minneapolis reviews detached structures on lots with one to three dwelling units under its accessory structure standards, which keep them subordinate in area to the house and set a maximum footprint of 800 square feet or 10 percent of the lot, whichever is greater. The zoning code, Title 20, has no section written for shipping containers on private property, so Development Review in Community Planning and Economic Development decides how a container on your lot is reviewed.

Include your address and a description of the access when you request a quote.

Minneapolis Use Cases

Uses for Containers in Minneapolis

Remodel and Move Storage

Keep furniture and boxes in your own driveway during a remodel or a move. The city's street use page says a storage unit in the driveway of a residential property you own needs no street use permit.

Snow and Yard Equipment

Store a snowblower, lawn equipment and patio furniture in one locked place on a lot where the accessory structure standards allow it.

Commercial Job Sites

Lock tools and materials on a commercial or multifamily project for the length of the build, with the container placed on the site and off the street.

Shop and Warehouse Overflow

Add storage for inventory and packaging behind a shop or warehouse, after Development Review confirms the use for the parcel.

Schools and Nonprofits

Keep sports equipment, event supplies or donated goods in a single secure space on a school or community property.

Seasonal Gear

Hold bikes, kayaks and camping gear between seasons when a garage is already full.

What to Know About Minneapolis Container Delivery

  • Minneapolis requires you to clear plants and overhanging growth so your alley remains at least 14 feet wide for access. If the truck will use an alley, check that overhead wires and branches leave at least 22 feet of clear height along the entire unloading path.
  • Set the container on firm, level support under all four corners, and check a yard for soft spots after the spring thaw.

For permit questions on a specific address, contact Minneapolis Development Review or Construction Code Services at 612-673-3000.

Minneapolis Container Questions

It depends on the size, the use and where it sits. The city lists one-story tool and storage sheds under 200 square feet as exempt from a building permit, and a 20ft container covers about 160 square feet, but zoning standards still apply to its position. Ask Development Review at 612-673-3000 how your container will be reviewed before you order.
The city requires an obstruction permit to block any part of a street, lane or sidewalk. Before ordering, call Minneapolis at 612-673-3000 to confirm whether street placement is allowed for a container you buy and keep, and who can apply for the permit.
Container One arranges delivery through local carriers.
