Paulden AZ Container Home Permit
Budget: $20,000 – $50,000 USD
I’m ready to move forward with a two-container residence—two 40 ft shipping containers joined into a single-story, 6 feet between container, 2 feet above the ground, open-floor-plan home with 2 bedrooms —on my 2.5-acre parcel in Paulden, AZ. Because the lot sits in a mapped flood zone, I need a permit package that satisfies Yavapai County building and flood-plain regulations.
Here’s what I need from you:
• Site plan and layout that clearly positions the containers, parking, setbacks, and required drainage features on the property.
• Detailed architectural drawings suitable for county submittal, showing foundation, structural tie-ins between the containers, roof framing, elevations, and any flood-proofing details.
• Structural engineering calculations confirming the container modifications and foundation will meet local code.
The concept is an open floor plan—no interior load-bearing walls—so your structural approach should rely on the container frames and any added beams or posts. Standard residential utilities (water haul/storage, septic, underground power) will be pulled in later, but please show the stub-outs on the plan so the county sees a complete picture.
Deliverables must be in PDF plus the original CAD (DWG or similar) files, stamped by an Arizona-licensed engineer. I’ll supply the property survey, flood-elevation certificate, and any county checklists as soon as we start. Let me know your expected timeline and any additional information you’ll need.
