Where a Ridgeland delivery comes from

Ridgeland is priced off two supplier depots: New Orleans, LA (about 200 road miles, I-10 / I-59 east into Hancock and Pearl River counties) and Memphis, TN (about 205 miles). The order goes against whichever has your grade in stock; the delivered price is the same either way. Published lead time is 3–7 business days from the day we confirm the order with you.

Placement and permits in Ridgeland

Ridgeland's Official Zoning Ordinance (2014) has no rule written for shipping or portable storage containers. What applies is the accessory-structure rule, §31.05(A): in the Agriculture, Residential Estate, Single-Family, Zero Lot Line and Townhouse districts an accessory structure may go in the required rear or side yard, at least 10 ft from the side and rear property lines, and never in the required front yard. Commercial projects need Architectural Review Board approval before plan review, which is where a container on an office or retail lot will be judged. The city's 2024 'storage ordinance' is about self-storage facilities, not containers. Community Development at City Hall (100 W School St) answers: Permits & Inspections 601-856-7113, Planning & Zoning 601-856-3877.

Will the truck make it in? Ridgeland lots

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

Ridgeland splits in two. The Highland Colony Parkway and Trace Colony Park office campuses and the Renaissance retail district are landscaped, reviewed properties where a visible container will be screened or refused — plan on the Architectural Review Board if the box is for a business there. The Highway 51 corridor and the industrial lots west of I-55 are where commercial containers normally land without trouble. Residential subdivisions off Lake Harbour Drive and Rice Road have standard suburban drives: a 20ft is routine, a 40ft needs the full 100 ft straight run checked.

The non-negotiables are the same everywhere: a straight run of about 60 ft for a 20ft and 100 ft for a 40ft, 14 ft of clear overhead the whole way, and level, firm ground where the box lands. A truck that cannot complete the drop is a billable trip.

Ridgeland questions

What does a container delivered to Ridgeland cost?
The figures above are delivered to ZIP 39157 and include the truck — about 200 road miles from New Orleans for a 20ft and 205 from Memphis for a 40ft. Ridgeland is a few dollars above downtown Jackson because it is a few miles farther from both depots.
Does Ridgeland require a permit for a storage container?
The zoning ordinance has no container-specific rule; a container is an accessory structure, allowed in the rear or side yard 10 ft off the lines in residential districts. Whether a permit is required for your district is the Permits & Inspections office's call (601-856-7113); commercial placements go through the Architectural Review Board.
Did Ridgeland flood in 2020 or 2022?
The Harbor Pines community near the Barnett Reservoir spillway was under mandatory evacuation in both events, with homes in up to 5 ft of water in 2020. The rest of the city sits above the Pearl.
