County rules
Does Castroville need a permit for a porta potty?
Castroville is unincorporated, so Monterey County rules apply instead of city rules. A unit on a county road or shoulder needs a county encroachment permit, line (831) 755-5025. A public event over 100 people or with food sales falls under county special event rules, which ask for 60 days' notice.
Yard or driveway
No county permit for a private party or remodel on your own lot. Renters should get the landlord's OK first.
Merritt Street or a county road
The county Encroachment Permits section covers objects placed in county roads, including Castroville's town streets.
Community events
County special event rules list portable toilets under a wastewater permit. Organizers should apply 60+ days out.
Local events
What happened to the Castroville Artichoke Festival, and does it affect rentals?
The Castroville Artichoke Festival, founded in 1959, canceled its 2025 event and then announced it would not return. Organizers cited rising costs. Any community event that takes its place needs county event permits. It also needs restrooms sized for the crowd.
A street event of about 50 vendors draws a steady crowd all day. Under our dispatch guideline of 1 unit per 50 guests for up to 4 hours, a 500-person afternoon needs 10 standard units. Make at least 1 of those units wheelchair-accessible, following the 2010 ADA Standards' 5%-per-cluster rule.
Pair every cluster of units with a handwash station when food is served.

How many toilets does my Castroville harvest crew need?
Cal/OSHA §3457 requires 1 toilet and 1 handwashing station for every 20 workers or fraction of 20. A crew of 35 needs 2 toilets and 2 stations, within a quarter-mile walk or 5 minutes of the work.
Can the units move with my crew between fields?
Yes. Towable units on a trailer move with the crew. Tell us how often the crew changes fields and we plan service around it.
How much does a field unit cost per month in Castroville?
On recent recorded quotes, a long-term unit ran about $185–$295 per 28-day cycle with weekly service, and a toilet and handwash combo ran about $495 per 28 days. Delivery and pickup are a one-time line. Your itemized quote is the final price.
I rent my house. Can I still put a porta potty in the yard?
