The Atlantic hurricane season runs from June 1 through November 30. Include a rental container in the site’s storm plan, especially in coastal counties and the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone. The Florida Building Code, 8th Edition (2023), took effect on December 31, 2023 and references ASCE/SEI 7-22. Those design speeds do not establish a rented container’s rating or a statewide anchoring rule.
Florida has no verified statewide tie-down requirement specifically for storage containers. Local governments set placement, removal, and securing rules. The two hurricane-watch examples below are different, which is precisely why an address-specific check matters.
Miami-Dade’s 2023 code summary lists an ultimate design wind speed of 175 mph for Risk Category II buildings. That is building-code context, not a standard rental-container rating. Ask the city or county what documentation, anchoring method, or removal plan it accepts.
Florida does not have one placement rule for every property. Florida Building Code Section 105.2 exempts certain detached accessory structures under 120 square feet; standard 20ft and 40ft containers are about 160 and 320 square feet. Local rules still control placement.
| County or City | Permit Required? | Maximum Duration | Size Limit | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Orange County | Temporary portable storage container permit | 90 days; 180 days for new construction | 160 sq ft in specified districts | 5ft minimum setback; cooldown applies |
| Miami-Dade County | Residential Certificate of Use | 90 days per calendar year | 8ft x 16ft x 8ft | 10ft minimum front setback |
| Lake County | Not when county criteria are met | 120 days per year | Over 20ft prohibited in residential zones | 5ft setback; no vacant parcels |
| Melbourne Beach | Local limits apply | 15 days; construction sites may follow the building permit | Confirm locally | Three deliveries yearly; 30 days between placements |
| Pompano Beach | Temporary Use Permit | Residential: 3 consecutive, 6 yearly; commercial: 14 consecutive, 28 yearly | 8ft x 16ft x 8ft | Post permit in plain view |
Coastal corrosion. Salt air carries chlorides that can accelerate corrosion when paint is damaged and bare steel remains exposed. Uncoated weathering steel should not be described as naturally protected in humid, chloride-heavy conditions.
For coastal Florida, coating integrity, drainage, roof condition, door seals, and inspection do the practical work. Position the unit away from standing water and avoid blocking drainage paths. Tell CMG how close the site is to the coast and whether the rental will remain through a full season.
Condensation control. Humid outside air can condense when interior steel surfaces cool or temperatures change quickly. Keep materials off the walls and floor, leave air paths around inventory, avoid loading wet items, and use ventilation or desiccants when appropriate. Inspect stored goods regularly during long rentals.
Sensitive records, finishes, electronics, food, or equipment may require an insulated or refrigerated unit rather than standard dry storage. Review CMG’s insulation, ventilation, and modification options before choosing the unit.
| Factor | Rent | Buy |
|---|---|---|
| Upfront cost | Lower monthly commitment plus delivery terms | Higher purchase and delivery cost |
| Project length | Temporary, phased, or uncertain schedules | Long-term use across projects or at one facility |
| Maintenance | Condition handled under the rental agreement | Owner manages repairs and coating upkeep |
| Flexibility | Return the unit when the need ends | Relocate, resell, or modify the unit |
| Modifications | Limited and subject to written approval | Broad options for insulation, doors, electrical, and branding |
| Best for | Construction phases, storm recovery, temporary overflow | Permanent yards, recurring storage, custom infrastructure |
Rent when the project has a defined end or changing schedule. Buy for years of use, moves between company sites, or permanent modifications. Compare Tampa and Fort Lauderdale purchase options, and ask about rent-to-own, one-trip, and used containers.
Standard storage rentals currently start at $100 per month for a 20ft container and $175 per month for a 40ft container. Delivery, pickup, specialty configuration, rental length, serving yard, and site access affect the final price.
There is no single statewide permit rule for placing a storage container in Florida. Orange County requires a temporary portable storage container permit, while Lake County allows qualifying placements without zoning or building permits.
Miami-Dade residential placements require a Certificate of Use, and cities such as Pompano Beach and Melbourne Beach impose their own limits. Confirm current requirements with the local building and zoning departments before delivery.
Florida has no verified statewide container tie-down rule. Miami-Dade requires residential units to be secured for winds over 100 mph or removed immediately during a hurricane watch. Melbourne Beach requires removal within 24 hours or a tie-down designed for sustained winds of 160 mph. Confirm the current local rule and accepted method for your address.
Most service areas can receive delivery within 48 to 72 hours after confirmation. Actual timing depends on inventory, distance from the Fort Lauderdale or Tampa yard, route limits, permits, weather, and site access.
Salt air can accelerate corrosion where coating damage exposes steel to moisture and chlorides. Check the paint, roof, drainage points, door hardware, and seals before placement. Tell CMG that the site is coastal so condition and maintenance needs can be considered when selecting a unit.
Start with dry inventory, open air paths, ventilation, and appropriate desiccants. Keep sensitive materials away from steel walls and avoid placing wet equipment inside. Insulation can reduce rapid surface-temperature changes, while refrigerated storage may be more suitable for inventory that requires controlled temperature or humidity.
CMG’s standard rental range includes 20ft and 40ft storage containers. 10ft, 45ft high-cube, double-door, open-side, refrigerated, insulated, office, and office-storage units may also be available. Choose the size after checking inventory volume, the available footprint, delivery clearance, and local size limits.
CMG offers flexible month-to-month rental terms with no long-term commitment required. Keep the unit through the project and schedule pickup when the need ends, subject to the agreement. Local ordinances may limit how long a container can remain on a residential or commercial property, so confirm the allowed placement period first.
Put secure storage where the work is happening. CMG provides storage containers for rent in Florida through its Fort Lauderdale and Tampa yards.
