Arvada rules for moving trucks, trailers and containers.
Key rule: In Arvada, a container in a private driveway or garage needs no permit.
In Arvada, a POD or other large container can sit in a private driveway or garage without a permit; putting one in the street needs a right-of-way permit that only a city-licensed container company can apply for, and the container must keep its distance from corners, driveways and hydrants. Large vehicles (25 feet or longer, 8 feet or wider, or over 30 feet with a trailer attached) can park in residential districts only while loading or unloading, making a delivery or servicing a property within 200 feet.
