Ocala rules for moving trucks, trailers and containers.
Key rule: In Ocala, a temporary portable storage container at a home requires a no-fee permit from the building official, and at a detached single-family house it may stay no more than 30 days in total within any six-month period.
Ocala's zoning code requires a no-fee permit from the building official for a temporary portable storage container at a home; at a detached single-family house it can stay up to 30 days in any six-month period on the driveway or another paved surface, while other residential buildings are limited to 72 hours. On residential streets, a vehicle can park no more than 12 hours in any 24-hour period, and vehicles over five tons may park only to load or unload freight. Commercial vehicles over three-quarters of a ton can't be parked or stored in the main residential zoning districts.
