Do I need a permit in Shelbyville?
On your own driveway or lot, no permit. Shelbyville does not publish a dumpster permit. It does make it unlawful to obstruct any street, sidewalk or public place except as authorised by law (Code § 12-302), and § 12-304 is unusually specific: anyone occupying a street with building materials or any other obstruction must fix an approved red warning light at the end of it at night, with warning signs and flares visible 100 feet in each direction. Police can order removal and bill the cost (§ 12-305). The City also runs a $50 permit for work affecting streets through the Director of Public Works with a $500 cash bond (§§ 12-102, 12-103), though the code does not say a container needs it. So the container goes on private property; if the street is unavoidable we ring Shelbyville Building and Codes on 931-684-9001 first. For the record, residential demolition permits here are published at $25.
