Jonesboro and Northeast Arkansas

Container Delivery in Jonesboro

Jonesboro sits on Crowley's Ridge in northeast Arkansas, shares the role of Craighead County seat with Lake City, and is home to Arkansas State University. Deliveries reach Craighead, Greene, Poinsett, Lawrence and Mississippi counties. Delivery areas include Downtown Jonesboro, the Arkansas State University area, the Caraway Road corridor, Red Wolf Boulevard, Highland Drive and the Industrial Drive area.

Jonesboro's zoning ordinance, Chapter 117 of the city code, permits accessory buildings in all zones within limits on setbacks, easements, lot coverage and height. In the RS single-family districts, Section 117-225 requires accessory buildings to sit in the rear yard and to be similar in architectural style and appearance to the house, so a home lot needs a call to Planning and Zoning before any order.

Delivery Logistics

What to Know About Jonesboro Container Delivery

Field roads and farm yards on the flat land around Crowley's Ridge can stay soft after heavy rain, so a gravel pad or a dry day helps the truck.
Farm yards, shop lots and industrial sites often have room for the 130 feet of straight run a 40ft container needs, while lots near the Arkansas State University campus can be tighter.
Outside the city, check with the Craighead County floodplain office at 870-933-4575 before a container is set in a FEMA flood hazard area.

For permit questions on a specific address, contact the City of Jonesboro Planning and Zoning Department at 870-932-0406 or the Inspections Department at 870-933-4602.
