Manufactured home requirements:

• Georgia rule: septic approval from county Environmental Health comes BEFORE the mobile home move-in permit (GA DPH rule 511-3-1) - call Environmental Health first, especially for a lot with an existing septic system
• Existing system evaluations available

Manufactured Home Notes

• No standalone building department; the County Clerk's office under the Board of Commissioners files and issues county permits including building permits
• County code Chapter 8 (Buildings) on Municode covers building regulations; City of Eastman has its own separate code

Georgia installations must follow the state Rules for Manufactured Homes (O.C.G.A. Title 8-2) using state-licensed installers; a state installation permit and insignia are required, plus the county permits above.
