Who wouldn’t be excited to start a big home renovation? It’s easy to put the cart ahead of the horse though and forget that you may need to secure some permits from your city/state in order to actually make your home updates. One thing that most people forget to secure is a dumpster rental permit. You certainly don’t want to have to pay a fine because you simply forgot to secure one in the first place.
What Situations Require a Dumpster Rental Permit?
For the most part, you probably won’t need to have a permit to place a dumpster on your property. However, you may not have enough room on your property which means you’ll have to place it on the city’s property. In other words, the sidewalk or the street. In those situations, you may need to obtain a permit from your town’s public works department. This might be a street permit or a right-of-way permit. If you’ve hired a contractor, they may be able to help with getting the necessary permits.
The rules to get a permit will be different between different cities. To find out if you need a permit and what it would take to actually secure that permit, you may want to check your city’s website or give the city clerk a call. This will help you understand the requirements in your specific location.
Applying for a Dumpster Permit
Most cities will have a simple form you can fill out either in person or on their website. If you’re having troubles finding that form or filling it out, it’s worth a call to city clerk’s office. If you do fill out the application online, some city websites require you to create an account in order to apply.
Here’s the common information you’ll need to have ready in order to fill out the form properly:
- Name of the dumpster rental company and their contact phone number
- Name of the property owner, applicant’s name (if not the same), property address, and phone number
- The dates of your dumpster rental time frame
- Exact details of where the dumpster will be placed
- Expect to pay a nominal fee for your permit. The exact amount will vary by town. Some cities will also charge a renewal fee if you need to keep your dumpster longer than initially anticipated.
