Farmington rules for moving trucks, trailers and containers.
Key rule: In Farmington, a truck parked on the street must leave at least ten feet of the street open for traffic and must not block any driveway, and placing any object in the public right-of-way, even temporarily, needs a city encroachment permit.
In Farmington, city code bars encroaching on the public right-of-way with any structure or object, temporary or permanent, unless it is covered by a permit, and an approved encroachment permit carries a $30 fee. A parked vehicle must leave at least ten feet of the street open for traffic and must not block a driveway entrance, the police or traffic engineer can issue special permits to back a truck to the curb for loading, and an unhitched trailer may not be left on the public way except a travel trailer for up to 48 hours or by police permit. The city's snow plan says snow and ice removal generally is not provided on residential streets.
