On the way back from picking up parts we finally stopped by since we drive past it a lot. Solid spot — the guy working was super helpful and got us in and out quick with the container we needed. Prices seemed fair compared to what everyone else charges online.
A Google UserWorked over a weekend to get us a modified shipping container ahead of schedule at a reasonable price. This company is the best!

Where you can put a container in Santa Clarita
Santa Clarita does not use the words “shipping container” anywhere in its code. It says “metal storage container,” and the rules live in three places: § 17.67.030(N) for temporary use, § 17.57.040(C) for residential zones, and § 17.53.030(E) for commercial and industrial.
| Rule | What the city requires |
|---|---|
| Temporary use | Permitted for a period not to exceed 90 days. Anything longer requires a minor use permit |
| Residential zones | Prohibited “unless they meet the design standards of this code” (§ 17.57.040(C)) |
| Commercial and industrial | Subject to a temporary use permit under § 17.23.200 |
| Extended temporary use permit | Maximum 5 years, approved by the Planning Commission |
| Accessory setback (rear yards) | Minimum 5 feet from property lines |
| Separation | Minimum 6 feet between accessory buildings |
| How many | 1 on parcels under 20,000 sq ft · 2 from 20,000 sq ft to 1 acre · 3 at 1 acre or larger |
The 90-day clock is the number that catches people out. A container delivered for a remodel is fine; a container that quietly becomes permanent storage is a code enforcement letter. If you know from the start that it is staying, apply for the minor use permit before it arrives rather than after.
Santa Clarita has over 20 sound stages and more than 10 movie ranches, and a large share of the containers that land here are for production storage. If yours is going onto a set or a ranch for a shoot, the 90-day temporary window usually covers it — but the property owner, not the production, is the one the city writes to. Sort out who is holding the permit before delivery day.
Container delivery in Santa Clarita
Santa Clarita is a valley city with steep edges. The flat parts are easy and the hillside parts are not, and which one you are on matters more than how far away you are.
- Valencia and the industrial centre — planned streets, wide turning radii, level pads. Straightforward tilt-bed deliveries.
- Movie ranches and production sites — long unpaved approach roads, cattle guards and gates. Measure the gate at its narrowest point, posts included, and tell us the surface of the last half mile.
- Canyon Country and hillside lots — grade is the issue. A tilt-bed unloads by sliding a container off a raised bed; on a slope it goes where gravity sends it, not where you want it. Steep sites are usually a crane or side-loader job.
- Newer tract neighbourhoods — standard driveways, but HOA rules here are common and are separate from city rules. Check both.
You need roughly 60 feet of straight clear run for a 20ft and 100–120 feet for a 40ft, plus 14 feet of overhead clearance the whole way in. Our full container delivery guide covers site prep, the three ways a container comes off a truck, and the eight things that most often go wrong on the day.
Send a photo of the approach and the drop spot before you order. On a graded or unpaved site that one photo decides which truck we send.
