A trailer on your own lot in Pearl River County

Whether a trailer can stay on your lot is decided by your city, or by the county outside city limits, and by your HOA if you have one. Here is what each one’s own code or official page says, in short. Our parent brand covers the residential RV rules for Pearl River County in detail.

  • City of Picayune. No official page we could find states a rule. Check with the city or county before delivery.
  • City of Poplarville. The zoning code has no RV rule for residential lots and no storm exception, but the Mayor and Board of Aldermen may approve, through the conditional use process, a temporary permit of up to one year for structures or uses necessary during construction or other nonrecurring special circumstances. The section does not mention RVs, so ask City Hall first. Source: Poplarville Code of Ordinances, Sec. 48-101
  • Unincorporated Pearl River County. Living in an RV needs a county permit. A Hardship Variance covers loss of a dwelling or active construction for up to 12 months, renewable each year with documentation, for a registered unit with an approved sewer or septic hookup, potable water, and safe power, and no rental. Every RV permit carries setbacks of 200 feet front and 100 feet side and rear, which the Planning and Building Director may review, and no RV occupancy inside a subdivision.

As of October 9, 2026, we found no statewide Isaias emergency declaration for Mississippi on the Governor's or MEMA's sites.

If insurance may pay for your housing

That depends on your policy and your adjuster. When a carrier approves the trailer, we can bill the carrier directly, so you are not fronting the cost. Our parent brand explains the claim side on 1st Choice Living’s Mississippi page. Once the placement is arranged, the trailer, delivery, and service are ours.

Every size arrives furnished, with real beds, a full kitchen, a bathroom with a shower, and heat and air conditioning. More on a trailer on your property while you rebuild.

Already working with a temporary housing company?

We work with any temporary housing company. If one is handling your housing, ask them to place you with Temporary RV Living, or with our parent brand, 1st Choice Living, for a trailer on your own lot in Pearl River County. They send us the placement, and we deliver, set up, and service the trailer.

Crew trailers on a job site in Pearl River County

For restoration, roofing, tree, utility, and response crews working in Picayune, Poplarville, and unincorporated Pearl River County. Bring the housing to the work. We deliver travel trailers to the site, or as close as the ground allows, and set up and connect them the same way we do in a driveway. A two-person crew fits one trailer. A full crew takes a cluster, and the Workforce Bunkhouse sleeps six or more per trailer, with a kitchen and a bathroom the crew shares. One point of contact runs the placement, it lands on one invoice billed directly to the company, and we handle the LOA, COI, and compliance paperwork your office or your client requires.

What the local codes say about trailers on a job site

  • City of Picayune. The building inspector may issue a one-year temporary occupancy permit for contractor's offices, equipment sheds, and trailer offices in any district, renewable if the use stays clearly temporary. That covers offices only; the code has no provision for using a travel trailer as crew housing, and travel trailers are barred for any use in the C-1 and C-2 districts. Source: Picayune Zoning Ordinance, Sec. 1105
  • City of Poplarville. The Mayor and Board of Aldermen may approve a temporary permit, as a conditional use, for structures or uses necessary during construction or other nonrecurring special circumstances, for up to one year. The code does not say whether a travel trailer qualifies and has no crew housing or watchman language. Source: Poplarville Code of Ordinances, Sec. 48-101
  • Unincorporated Pearl River County. Any RV occupancy needs a county permit. The permits bar rental, lease, or compensated occupancy of any kind and generally allow one unit per parcel, and nothing addresses employer-provided crew housing, so any crew use would need the county's confirmation.

Ask the city, or Pearl River County Planning and Building outside city limits, before delivery, with the address and how long the crew expects to stay. More on crew housing.

Power, water, and sewer for a trailer in Pearl River County

Water, sewer or septic, and electrical connections are completed by licensed, insured contractors from our preferred vendor network, so you do not hire an electrician or a plumber. We look at how far the trailer will sit from the water, sewer, and power it will use, and confirm the site with you on the call before the trailer rolls.

Electric service in Pearl River County comes from the utilities below. Each posts its own outage and storm updates.

Septic: Pearl River County's RV ordinance says an RV must be connected to an MSDH-approved wastewater system or a county-approved system, with no surface discharge of gray or black water, and the permit application needs a sanitation plan.
