Clifton rules for moving trucks, trailers and containers.
Key rule: In Clifton, portable storage units (PODs) may never sit in the street right-of-way; they go in the driveway or yard under a $25, 30-day site permit from the City Clerk.
In Clifton, a portable storage unit needs a $25 site permit from the City Clerk, valid for 30 days, and must sit in the driveway, front yard or side yard, never in the right-of-way. Trailers may not be parked from 10 p.m. to 7 a.m. every day, and the same hours bar vehicles over four tons or 25 feet long unless they are carrying goods to or from area residences. On permit-parking streets, service and delivery vehicles making calls or deliveries are exempt, and when snow covers the streets, parking is banned on the listed snow streets.
