Container Delivery in Jackson

Jackson is Mississippi's capital, on the Pearl River near the center of the state. Deliveries reach Hinds, Madison, Rankin and Simpson counties. Delivery areas include Belhaven, Fondren, Eastover, Midtown, Georgetown, Broadmeadow, South Jackson and West Jackson.

Jackson's zoning ordinance lets a portable storage container stay 30 days. From day 31 it needs a permit from the Building Permit Division, and it may stay no more than 60 days in a calendar year unless a building permit is issued before the portable storage permit expires. On R-1 and R-2 residential lots the ordinance also caps a portable storage container at 130 square feet and 16 feet in length, smaller than a 20ft container, so ask the Zoning Division how the city would classify a container on your parcel.

Delivery Logistics

What to Know About Jackson Container Delivery

After heavy rain, a yard on soft clay can stop a loaded truck short of the set-down spot, so plan a firm path from the street.
Container trucks cannot use the Natchez Trace Parkway, so routes through Ridgeland and Madison follow city streets and highways.
Mature trees and overhead lines on older streets in Belhaven and Fondren can block the 15 feet of height a truck needs to drive and the 22 feet of height it needs along the unloading path.

For permit questions on a specific address, contact the City of Jackson zoning office at (601) 960-2037 or the Building Permit Division at 601-960-1160.

Jackson Container Questions

Where do I apply for a portable storage container permit in Jackson? +

Through the city's online permit portal, which lists a POD permit, the city's name for a portable storage container permit, under Building Permitting. The Building Permit Division works from the third floor of the Warren Hood Building at 200 S. President Street.

How can I confirm a parcel's zoning in Jackson? +

Ask the zoning office for a zoning verification letter. It states the parcel's zoning and whether a current or proposed use is permitted there.

Does Yazoo clay change how a container is set in Jackson? +

It can. Mississippi's Office of Geology rates the Yazoo clay under much of Jackson a high construction risk because it swells and shrinks with moisture. Set the corners on firm, level blocking and check that the doors still close square after a long wet or dry spell.
