PERMITS FOR SHIPPING CONTAINER HOME! | TOTC Ep. 7 

I've already started building the container home! Check out the playlist to watch me build it: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-tsuqiM8Ym_4.html

Yeap, that sounds right. Things are hard but atleast when someone like you do this and shows how it's done makes it easier for the next guy

Do I need a permit to get a permit?

Since June 15, 1976, all manufactured homes in the United States have been built according to HUD building codes. The HUD code is a national standard that overrides all local building codes. Therefore, all states and counties have to accept HUD standards, even if HUD's codes conflict with local building codes.Jul 9, 2015

It’s crazy when you realize how restricted we are on our own properties! We dealt with similar issues when we started our project. Stay strong and hope things go smoothly! 🙂👍

Yup, my husband went to ask all these same questions to the main office (idk what it's even called) and the lady didn't even want to talk to him once he dropped the work "container home", later he crashed able to get her to say "it's not impossible, but we'll make it as impossible as we can for you "😂😂😂 piss off

This is why government shouldn’t be allowed to tell us what to do. My land, my freedom. As long as I’m not hurting anyone mind your business.

There is a difference between city ordinances or “code” and the law. Some things might be against code but not enforceable by law. I also have a friend who is actively off grid who could give you more info.

All they want is your money.

Code is mostly for safety for you and your neighbors (ex, septic). Permitting is hell when you do it out of order. Good luck on getting an engineering stamp on a shipping container. Depending on design you could have some significant reinforcing work, which needs to be inspected.

It is always best to find out zoning, rules and regs before buying land. Being in the military this sounds perfectly normal because it's the government. But if you have never experienced working within a governmental system it seems overwhelming, and frustrating. The nice thing about rules and regulations is that you know what you can work within and sometimes you can work outside of those if you can show good cause as sometimes there is a waver factor. I am actually looking at land as well and doing the same with a shipping container. It is all worth the effort. 👍🏼

keep it up. love what your doing man. can't wait to see the land and the day containers get dropped off.

6:15 Yeah Chris I agree with you I was sooo frustrated with all this rule limitations! I wanted to stay on my land in the tent or something just enjoy it . 😩😅

You’re right! You never really own anything. I was looking into having a container home built. I hope you are successful, that will give me hope. I wish you the best.

I feel for you, my partner and I are going to get a container for our land that we haven't gotten yet, have been looking for land for a couple years, we just haven't found what we need, we're finding out this not easy and now we see your RU-vid video, and we think what the hell, it's very discouraging, maybe with your videos it can help us figure out how to best go about this. Thank you. Maria, wish you the best.

I'm loving your videos 📹 but I'm getting discouraged 😞 about getting my land and building my own Ship-container in Florida....

Thank you for uploading this video. I’m a local realtor thinking about doing something very similar. However, I think you should go in person if possible to Planning and Zoning, sometimes emails can be a bit difficult to understand one’s intentions. That’s what I’m doing this week to get all my questions answered, shipping container homes are a new trend in FL and I believe there isn’t enough info about it, so thank you again for this helpful video. Also make sure to ask about Property Easements (which will be in the survey) but they might be different from regular homes, also find out if your land has ‘Wetland’ before you buy and how much you can build out of it. Wetland in FL means that your land could have a small area with protected species and you won’t be able to do anything on that particular area. Thanks & Keep up the good work! 🙌🏽

Enjoying all of your videos. When you actually go out and find the land, would you contact the county first and ask them specifically if you can build container homes. If they say , yes, what kind of zoning are you looking for ?

Wow thanks for the info.

Do you think you can make a list of all the steps that need to be taken by order. If possible

I just get a plans for my architect licensed in FL for my project in my land but now starting work to get the permits this is so hard and now looking engineer have knowledge work this issues and help me.

We bought land in Marion County FL and are having a hard time finding a FL engineer stamped plan for a container. We just want to build a simple 2 bedroom container. We don’t even necessarily want something custom or fancy, we would follow a premade plan even. Our county has a few container homes but a company built it and did the permit process for them.

Thanks for sharing your experience about owning land yet what state or city was you trying to build your container home.....

Thanks for sharing bro 😎

Very good video wish you the best you clear and you very good to give us experience

Are the permit cost expensive in the area you are building? I know they are different everywhere. I also know you have to get permits and inspections done as specific stages of the construction. It adds up.

Now I'm just hoping there aren't anymore permitting headaches down the road....something tells me that's naive!

What brand of brush cutter you got?

What county art you in kinda wanted to do one my self most contractors run generators

what software are you using to design the plans ?

glade to see your vedio and thanks 。I found a perfect land with old foundation on it in Lake Arrowhead ，A agent told me that the whole San Bernardino county do not alowed buiding a shipping container house。but I know some Airbnb container houses in this county and a guy buid a cool container house in Joshua Tree 。I m confusing now 。

What county are you in? I’m in Marion county Florida and was considering doing the same thing. Thank you so much for your video’s. I’ll be sure to check out your other video’s.

i have the same problem not permits not power is my land "MY LAND"

Why you didn't go with the sun panels if it's approved there.

Can you download free building plans...get a permit for those (small foot print would be the lowest permit fee) , then get electricity situate the containers (workshop) , then take some time planning the actual house and get a revised permit based on the new plans.

Where is this home being built, city & state?

is it the same in all zoning areas ?

You’re so right about it, so frustrating, Different type of “communism” Makes you think, are we really free in the land of freedom? 🤔

Hi, Can you share the company info you use to get your plans done in florida? Thx

Where can I buy shipping container soft ware design ?

Welcome to America, where the only thing you’re free to do is consume. Everything else requires bureaucrat approval.

Do you have floor plans for a single 40' shipping container?

That is the price you have to pay for living near populated areas or "civilization", there are other land in the US that the county only ask for a septic tank, that's it, local contractor do it in 3 days and cost less than you paid for 1 container including county inspection, after that you can build a skyscraper, an atomic bomb shelter or raise elephants, no questions ask.

Did you get any resources on the limitations of what you can do?

BUILD IT ACCORDING TO HUD STANDARDS THEY OVERRIDE ALL BUILDING CODES Under HUD guidelines, manufactured homes must be a minimum of 400 square feet in size. They must have ceiling heights in habitable rooms and bathrooms of at least 7 feet, while ceilings in hallways and storage areas must be at least 6 feet 6 inches.

Can you start the gardening without permits?

What other YT channel are you from? You look really familiar...

You buy a land in a diferent country and you can do where ever you want in you propety

Hi body did you solve the problem I’m in glades county to be exact Moore haven and I wanted to do the same project let me know please thanks

You resemble a young Chuck Reneisweilke

Where are you? City? State? County? Thanks.

Yea the country is the owner

That’s crazy omg

I’ll move to Montana

What county is this?

If you’re in florida, how were you able to get the containers so cheap?? I’ve only gotten quotes for 2500- 2700 per container. Thanks!

Shots ridiculous, can one really own the land? you can buy it by your not free to even spend night there? Will they charge you with trespassing lol? That would be fun trial

Can you put a 30 foot on wheels

Can I purchase your house plans ?

All these rules came about because some one some where went unreasonable and the town had to make basic rules.

Apparently this building official doesn't have a clue about the code. I'm familiar with the Clewiston area and people have containers in their back yards all over the place.

What state r u in

Hello there. I love what you are doing. I want to the same but in Quebec Canada Where are you

This is why people want to grab their guns and run these F'n politicians out of town ! My freaking God!!! We voted for these people ! They're supposed to work for us! Not the other way around !!!

Lol yes this is silly TO own something and to be told what to do with it trust me I already know and living in Florida with HOAs

❤❤❤❤

What's state this in

I feel your pain because I'm going through the exact same thing right now but I think I'm a bit more understanding of why it is this way then you sound as though you are. You never mentioned whether or not the land that you bought was subdivided regardless of whether or not there was any other residents put on the the land but in my case this is a subdivision where I will be able to get a mailing address but there's virtually no other residences just a handful out of the whole area and I have a third of an acre. Well realistically I have to concern myself or at least the county in the state concerned themselves with what will this look like for the neighborhood as it develops? So realistically unless you're going to buy somewhere out in BF Egypt then yeah we're all going to be subject to some kind of restrictions that involve the reasonable consideration of others in the area. For example let's just say you built yourself a home and directly across the street somebody else said yeah it's my land I can do whatever I want and put a junkyard over there with no fence. That's an example of why there are all these regulations. Yes they are inconvenient as all get out but they're there for a reason and they protect you too.

I heard of unrestricted land

Needless to say I think we all learned a valuable lesson. You don't actually own anything. The government does lol. Infuriates me that you can't do anything without going through tons of money and paperwork.

Where do you live? If you pay tax for your property and can't put a tent for a night, that's a ridiculous bureaucracy. They got crazy frency. You paid for the land and are paying TAXES for having the privilege of having the title, not for using it!?

Lol yeah that’s pretty interesting right you’ll pay off your house and you’re technically still renting it renting for life LOL that’s like I think people miss the fact that when you buy a home you know this $250,000 purchase and they say 4.5% a year for 30 years and you go do the math on that and it turns out to be almost 480 some thousand dollars over the course of 30 years then that’s a 90% interest rate so that 4.5% is not what it really says it is well we are signing our papers for our home and the lady said this is what you’re paying for the house this is the interest-rate you’ll be paying for that which is 4.5% and she gave me a total of almost 480 $90,000 it in the 30 years in my mind immediately said what the hell that’s not 4% interest rate and literally I almost didn’t sign the papers because I knew that we paying that much money for a house that would technically never own I mean take me on the house but the land would still be rented like you said woods is freaking interesting to me

You look like a young jay leno

What county is that we can boycott the whole county

People don't own the land if they pay property tax!!!

What the crap 🤣😂 too many permits

You would think you live in North Korea after watching this

Rule one for freedom lovers. Never get permits. Don't even consider it. Getting a permit just gives local governments credence that they have the right to tell people what they can do. Don't even give them that affirmation. They can f--k off. If enough of us just stop with permits and licensing and registration there will be nothing they can do unless they have the gull to send people with guns to force their will.

Try this in new york..container permit?? Rv permit ???you cant even take a leak without permit, in your own land..ridiculuous!!

Putting a container on your land is not building.. you should have called an attorney

Been like that for years man.. you don’t own anything..

Lolololololol

You will never own your home..even if you pay it off..Because if the taxes you have to pay.

You prolly live in the city limits? Come to the country side; ranches, farms- you can do anything no one cares

Dude you are being way overly dramatic about this thing that you can or can't do with your land. Do you really think the city or county gives a crap if you sleep in a camper on your own land? Some laws are written to prevent certain activities from escalating. They're meant to prevent nuisances to the public and other adjacent properties. The United States is a country of lower laws that are strictly enforced as opposed to Latin America which has very strong and punitive laws that are seldomly enforced. That said, nobody is running around making sure vacant Lots are truly vacant and if you ever had an assessor or anyone else come out to your property and see a camper in the time that you're waiting to get a foundation built and shipping containers delivered don't think twice that they would care enough to say anything. What are they going to do? Evict you from your own property?
