Placement and permits in Hattiesburg

Hattiesburg's Land Development Code (Ordinance 3209, amended through September 2020) has no rule for residential shipping containers; its only mention of 'cargo containers' is for retail outdoor storage, which must be on an approved site plan. A container on a house lot is an accessory structure under §5.4.2.6: never in the required front yard or between the street and the rear building line of the house, at least 5 ft from the rear and side lines, and all detached accessory floor area capped at a third of the house's (§5.4.2.5). A temporary building for construction or remodeling is allowed six months, with one six-month extension (§5.4.2.7). The five local historic districts (Hattiesburg Historic Neighborhood, North Main, The Oaks, Newman-Buschman, Parkhaven) require a Certificate of Appropriateness for new buildings. Urban Development's Land Development Division at City Hall, 200 Forrest St, answers: Building 601-554-1003, Planning 601-545-4599.

Will the truck make it in? Hattiesburg lots

Tilt-bed truck sliding a 20ft container onto a gravel pad — the truck backs in, tilts, and the box slides off the back

The historic neighborhoods — the 23-block Hattiesburg Historic Neighborhood District, North Main, The Oaks, Parkhaven — are a late-1800s grid with sidewalks, narrow side yards and a protected oak canopy: the city's design review applies to a visible new structure there, and the limbs over the drive are what stops a tilt-bed, not the lot length. West Hattiesburg and Oak Grove subdivisions off US-98 have standard suburban drives where a 20ft is routine and a 40ft needs the 130 ft run checked; the acreage out Highway 11 and toward Rawls Springs takes anything. East Hattiesburg along the Leaf is in the mapped floodplain — a floodplain development permit comes before the box.

The truck needs about 110 ft of straight run for a 20ft and 130 ft for a 40ft, 15 ft overhead, and firm ground: the full delivery checklist.
