Canton Township rules for moving trucks, trailers and containers.
Key rule: In Canton Township, a portable storage or refuse container on a single-family lot must sit in an approved area of the driveway, never in the public right-of-way, and may stay seven days without a building division permit.
Canton Township's zoning ordinance requires temporary storage and refuse containers used for moving to sit in an approved area of a single-family driveway, never in the public right-of-way or on sidewalks, for up to seven days; longer stays need a building division permit of up to 30 days. Large commercial vehicles such as tractor-trailers and dump trucks can't park on residential streets except while temporarily doing work or picking up or dropping off passengers. Recreational vehicles, which include utility trailers, may sit in the owner's driveway for up to three days in any rolling seven-day period, and semitrailers are barred from residential districts.
