Container Delivery in Columbus

Columbus is Ohio's capital and the seat of Franklin County, built where the Olentangy River joins the Scioto. Deliveries reach Franklin, Delaware, Licking, Fairfield, Pickaway and Union counties. Delivery areas include German Village, the Short North, Clintonville, Franklinton, Linden, the Hilltop, Olde Towne East and Merion Village.

Columbus City Code section 3332.289 lists shipping containers among the items that may not be stored or left in the yard of a residentially zoned property outside a completely enclosed building. On commercial and industrial parcels, the rules of the zoning district decide where a container can go.

What to Know About Columbus Container Delivery

  • On October 14, 2026, Container One priced most downtown Columbus deliveries from a Columbus depot 12.7 miles away. The 20ft One-Trip, the 40ft Cargo Worthy and the 40ft high cube One-Trip came from Cincinnati, 109 miles away.
  • Placing a container in a city street or other public right-of-way needs permission from the Department of Public Service, through its Right-of-Way Permit Office at (614) 645-7497.
  • Industrial and warehouse lots often have the paved, open run a 40ft container needs, while older neighborhoods have narrow drives, alleys and low service wires.
  • Columbus city limits reach into Delaware and Fairfield counties, and suburbs such as Dublin and Westerville have their own zoning offices, so confirm which government covers the address.

For permit questions on a specific address, contact the City of Columbus Department of Building and Zoning Services at (614) 645-7433.

Columbus Container Questions

Not a standard one. Section 3390.02 covers portable storage containers less than 169 square feet in size and eight feet in height, allowed on a parcel for two non-consecutive periods of up to 14 days each per calendar year. A standard shipping container stands 8 ft 6 in tall, above that height.
Columbus is moving parts of the city from its older zoning code, Title 33, to Title 34, the 2024 zoning code, through the Zone In program. Title 34 does not count storage or shipping containers as an accessory use. Building and Zoning Services can tell you which code covers your address and how it treats a container.
Section 3303.19 of the zoning code defines a shipping container as a standardized cargo container, usually made of steel, designed and built for intermodal freight transport.
