Farmington Hills rules for moving trucks, trailers and containers.
Key rule: In Farmington Hills, placing any object in a street needs a right-of-way permit, but the rule doesn't bar temporary obstructions incidental to quickly moving things to and from the adjoining property.
Placing any object in a street or public right-of-way in Farmington Hills requires a right-of-way permit, although temporary obstructions incidental to moving things to and from a home are allowed, and sidewalks must be kept clear of vehicles and materials. The zoning section on accessory structures lists storage pods and shipping containers and allows one such building, up to 160 square feet, for one 30-day period a year; confirm with the city how that applies to a moving pod. In winter, a declared snow parking ban starts at least two hours after it is announced.
