Permit requirements vary by location and situation:
- Private property (residential): Usually no permit needed for temporary use (home renovation, backyard party)
- Public events: Many cities require event permits that include portable restroom requirements
- Construction sites: Building permits typically cover restroom facilities
- HOA communities: Check your HOA rules - some restrict placement or duration
- Street/sidewalk placement: Requires permits in most cities
Always check with your local city or county office. Your rental company can often advise on local requirements.
