Jacksonville rules for moving trucks, trailers and containers.
Key rule: In Jacksonville, the zoning code lets a temporary personal storage unit (POD) sit on private residential property for up to 30 days, with units capped at 300 square feet, and it may go in a driveway or yard.
In Jacksonville, the traffic code bars trucks of one ton or more and recreational vehicles over 20 feet long from parking on a residential street unless they are temporarily loading or unloading, and the zoning code likewise keeps moving vans and box trucks off residential rights-of-way except as needed for normal loading or unloading. Temporary personal storage units may sit on private residential property for up to 30 days (or the life of an active building permit), are capped at 300 square feet, and may go in a driveway or yard. A parked vehicle must leave at least ten feet of roadway open, and the Sheriff can issue special permits to back a vehicle to the curb for loading.
