Montclair rules for moving trucks, trailers and containers.
Key rule: In Montclair, a portable storage unit may not be placed on a township street or right-of-way without a permit from the Chief of Police.
Montclair requires a Chief of Police permit for any portable storage unit or roll-off dumpster on a street, while a container on private property needs a 30-day permit through the Township Construction Official, with only one unit and one permit per property in a 12-month period. Overnight parking is banned from 2 a.m. to 5 a.m. on streets where it isn't allowed by schedule, though a $5 overnight visitor permit exempts a vehicle, and tractor-trailers and commercial vehicles over 10,000 pounds may not park on any street from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. Parking on snow-covered streets is prohibited until 12 hours after snowfall ends.
