Actually, a friend of ours had their final inspection. In front of the house sat two 20ft containers, one with their yet to be moved in household goods, the 2nd nearly empty. Inspector told them the containers could either be 1 - on transport wheels, 2- permitted and properly installed on foundation, or 3 - be gone before they could pass final.
The next week, this same inspection came for my framing inspection. He noticed I had a 20ft container, asked if it was staying (obviously as it was a part of my solar electric setup) told me it had to be permitted or removed. Obviously, I went this the cost and hassle for additional permit and that permit was finalled before my house was.
