Local Issues
Common Packing & Crating Issues in Northwest Torrance
Misleading postal addresses
Some Torrance properties carry a Redondo Beach 90278 address, so the city that governs parking has to be confirmed rather than read off the envelope.
Association move rules
Townhome and condo associations set their own move hours, parking rules and insurance requirements in their governing documents.
Garage height limits
Garages in managed buildings and some complexes stop a full-size truck from entering, so loading position is planned in advance.
Oversized vehicle permit office
Torrance handles street parking for oversized vehicles through the Police Department, which differs from neighboring cities.

If the address is in Torrance, oversized vehicle street parking permits come from the Torrance Police Department, through the Torrance Online Citizen Portal or at 3300 Civic Center Drive, and we confirm lead time and requirements with the City. Some Torrance properties along the western edge carry a Redondo Beach 90278 postal address, so we check the actual city before planning.
