Do I need a permit for a shipping container?

Permit requirements vary by city and county in Oklahoma. In general, rural and unincorporated areas have few restrictions on placing a container on private property. Cities like Oklahoma City, Tulsa, Norman, and Edmond may require a zoning or building permit — especially if you plan to convert the container into a living or work space. We recommend contacting your local planning or zoning office before purchasing. We’re happy to help guide you through the process.
