Decision — first matching row wins
| # | When | Permit | Type | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | location = "row" | yes | Right-of-Way / Obstruction Permit | Any storage container, dumpster, roll-off, PODS unit or construction trailer placed in the public right-of-way needs a ROW obstruction permit regardless of duration — a traffic-safety and access issue for the county, not a building-code question. |
| 2 | tent_sqft > 400 | yes | Fire/Building — Temporary Tent Permit | Large tents (commonly 400 sq ft and up, or any tent used for public assembly) are regulated for fire/life-safety — occupant load, exiting, flame-resistance certification — and need a temporary-use permit from the fire marshal/building department even though the structure itself is temporary. |
| 3 | otherwise | conditional | Often no building permit for short-term private-property placement, but check the local temporary-use/zoning code | A construction trailer or storage container staged on private property for the duration of an active, permitted job is commonly allowed without its own permit as an incident of that job; left in place after the job closes out, or placed with no active permit behind it, it can trigger a zoning temporary-use violation. Duration limits vary by authority — reviewer to confirm. |
