St. Paul Legislative Code Sec. 34.08(6) prohibits accumulating and storing portable storage containers and intermodal cargo containers on residential property. Zoning Code Sec. 60.217 defines placement of an intermodal cargo container for five or fewer days as parking. Sec. 60.220 defines placement of a portable storage container as storage without specifying a minimum number of days. It also defines placement of an intermodal cargo container as storage when the container has gone more than five days without being used. Ask the Zoning Section at 651-266-9008 how these provisions apply to your lot and what counts as use of a container holding belongings before ordering.

• A container in the street needs a Public Works storage container permit, with an initial expiration of 120 days. The city does not allow containers on streets too narrow for traffic or snowplows to pass.
• During a declared snow emergency, the city's policy asks you to make reasonable efforts to remove containers from the street. A container placed completely on private property needs no right-of-way permit.
• Clear the full driveway width before the delivery, because the truck needs 10 feet of width and 22 feet of clear height along the unloading path.
• Any detached accessory structure in a Heritage Preservation District or Site needs approval from the Heritage Preservation Commission.

For permit questions on a specific address, contact the Department of Safety and Inspections Zoning Section at 651-266-9008, or the Public Works Right of Way Permit Desk at 651-266-6151 for a container in the street.
