Fairhope rules for moving trucks, trailers and containers.
Key rule: In Fairhope, dumpsters, containers and other large unmovable objects may not be placed in the street right-of-way without approval from the city's chief building official or a designee.
Fairhope requires a right-of-way permit from the building department to obstruct a right-of-way, and dumpsters or containers need the chief building official's approval before going in it; a refuse container may use public parking spaces free for up to seven days. Vehicles may not be parked in a street right-of-way for more than four hours on a recurring basis, and commercial vehicles may never park on the street next to a residential use. Vans and vehicles moving furniture or goods with proper safety safeguards count as delivery vehicles exempt from those limits, and household-goods moving trucks are exempt from the residential truck ban.
