New Jersey Permit Rules for Shed Moves
Any shed move in Newark that exceeds 8'6" wide or 13'6" tall on the trailer becomes an oversize load under New Jersey rules. The permit comes from the NJDOT Oversize Permits, and the fee is typically $45–$200 for a single-trip move.
Garden State Parkway and most parkways are off-limits. New Jersey is known for low-clearance parkways and dense suburban 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 Newark 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.
