Shipping Container Parts Storage Layouts

In some areas you will be taxed on your property taxes for using shipping containers. It would be something that you should check into first, especially if you put a roof on top of a pair of containers. The tax man would consider them permanent if they can’t be moved.

Hello Paul,

Not sure about taxation of shipping containers here in Australia; or in Queensland. I do know that some local councils will not allow shipping containers on private property. This is something that I have to check with my mob here.

We also have a limit of roof space for sheds on each property. This is not per ... shed per property; it is an overall percentage of all shed roof-space to square measurement of land. If a shed/s exceed that size it has to go before a Environment and Planning meeting with the local council for approval. Yes, and you pay for such a pleasure; even if they deny you permission. Yes, this has to happen even when your property is rated as "rural".

Kind regards
Lionel
