In Savage, we pride ourselves on maintaining the beauty and charm of our community. A key part of that effort is ensuring our neighborhoods stay neat, organized, and clutter-free. Here's a quick overview of our Outdoor Storage Ordinance.
What is the Outdoor Storage Ordinance?
The ordinance is straightforward: materials and equipment must be stored inside a building, not in your yard or driveway. The ordinance applies to items like:
- Tools and equipment
- Building materials and supplies
- Unused household items
- Cardboard boxes or other refuse
If it’s not designed specifically for outdoor use or is not currently being used, it probably needs to be stored inside.
What are my options if space is tight?
If you’re finding it challenging to comply because of limited storage space, consider these options:
- Reorganize your garage or shed more efficiently, with vertical storage solutions
- Consider a small storage shed, if your property can allow it
- Rent a storage unit for seasonal or rarely used items
- Evaluate your items and consider whether it’s time to sell or donate items you no longer need
By working together on these small but essential details, we all contribute to keeping Savage the beautiful, welcoming community we’re proud to call home. Thank you for doing your part!
