Hoover rules for moving trucks, trailers and containers.
Key rule: In Hoover, a portable storage container must sit on the lot it serves, not in a street right-of-way, and only one is allowed per dwelling for up to 96 hours.
In Hoover, the zoning ordinance allows one portable storage container (over 100 cubic feet) per dwelling in residential districts for up to 96 hours, on the lot it serves and out of any street right-of-way. City Code Section 9-98 bars parking a commercial motor vehicle, boat, recreational vehicle or trailer on a street except for emergency repairs and loading and unloading, and parked vehicles must leave at least 14 feet of roadway open. On private lots in residential districts, outdoor parking of a vehicle, boat or trailer beyond 48 hours is limited by Section 9.07, and large roll-off trash containers are tied to a current building permit and kept off the street pavement.
