Massachusetts Permit Rules for Shed Moves
Any shed move in Boston that exceeds 8'6" wide or 13'6" tall on the trailer becomes an oversize load under Massachusetts rules. The permit comes from the MassDOT Permits, and the fee is typically $40–$200 for a single-trip move.
Boston-area moves frequently need a route survey. Massachusetts is known for low-clearance parkways and dense colonial street grids, which affects route planning more than in flatter states. Your hauler handles the permit, the route survey if one's needed, and any escort coordination — you don't have to call the state.
Rule of thumb for Boston homeowners: any shed narrower than 8'6" (10x-anything, most 10x12s and 10x14s) usually moves without a permit. 12-wide sheds and bigger nearly always trigger one.
Moving a Shed in Boston: Local Details That Change the Price
Boston sits in Suffolk County. Beyond the statewide MassDOT Permits permit, these local realities are what Boston haulers actually price around — typical local hauls run 15–40 miles one way.
Local permitting
City of Boston Transportation Department oversize routing on top of the MassDOT permit.
Routes haulers use
I-93, I-90 Mass Pike, Route 128 and US-1; most hauls run out to the suburbs.
Site access in Boston
Triple-decker lots, narrow colonial streets and mature canopy make in-city moves rare and technical.
Best time to schedule

Areas and landmarks Boston haulers work around
Crews quoting shed moves near Boston regularly route past the Charles River, Dorchester, the Route 128 belt and Cambridge. Tell your hauler which side of town you're on — a move across the Charles River prices differently than a straight shot inside one neighborhood.
