You can reserve space in front of your building for your moving container/crate. A Moving Container/Crate Permit Application must be submitted 6 business days prior to the moving date. The Traffic Department will post the area so that ample space will be available for your moving crate(s) for easy access to your property. Please remember that the date, times and truck footage of the moving container/crate are most important.

Modification of date, time or location to permits will not be accepted after signs have been posted unless due to extreme weather conditions.   In the event that an applicant requests a posting modification after signs are posted, there will be no refund and applicant's must re-apply and pay for a new permit.
