Massachusetts Permit Rules for Shed Moves
Any shed move in Cambridge 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 Cambridge 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.
