Brockton rules for moving trucks, trailers and containers.
Key rule: In Brockton, a portable storage container (POD) needs a permit from the Inspectional Services Department before it can sit on a property, and in residential zones the permit runs for an initial 45 days.
Brockton's zoning code requires an Inspectional Services Department permit for any portable storage container on a property; in residential zones the permit covers one container for 45 days, can be extended once for up to 30 days, and the container may be no larger than 20 by 9 by 9 feet. From December 1 to April 1 the Traffic Commission's winter parking ban bars parking on the even-numbered side of most streets from midnight to 7 a.m., and a declared snow or weather emergency bans parking on every street. Blocking a sidewalk needs a permit from the chief of police, and a parked vehicle must leave a clear 10-foot lane for traffic.
