Oakland Rental Container Permits & Regulations


Before renting a container in Oakland, it’s important to understand the local regulations. Being prepared can save you time and money and ensure compliance with city codes.


📝 Temporary Use Permits: You can usually place containers for temporary storage for up to 180 days with a permit. This is often tied to an active construction or building permit.


📏 Setback & Placement: Containers must be set back from property lines and cannot block driveways, sidewalks, or emergency access areas.


🎨 Appearance Standards:  Containers should be painted a neutral color or hidden from public view. This helps them blend in with nearby properties and follow city rules.


🏠 Permanent Placement: To use a container as a permanent structure, you need a building permit. You must also follow all City of Oakland zoning and building laws.


💡 Our team can help you navigate local permitting and ensure compliance before delivery. We are familiar with the City of Oakland Planning and Building Department requirements and can guide you through the process.
