Independence Township rules for moving trucks, trailers and containers.
Key rule: In Independence Township, a portable storage container may be used for temporary storage at a home in a residential district for up to 60 days.
Independence Township's zoning ordinance allows portable storage containers for temporary storage in residential districts for up to 60 days, while cargo containers are banned outside listed districts. Commercial vehicles, trailers and semitrailers of 10,000 pounds or more may not be parked on residential property except when making a delivery. The township code exempts temporary loading or unloading next to a property from its sidewalk-obstruction ban, and its right-of-way permit rule does not prohibit temporary obstructions incidental to moving things to and from abutting premises.
