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 septic system evaluation required before relocating a mobile home onto a lot with an existing system (district form)

Manufactured Home Notes

• Very small unincorporated county; building inspection is handled by a single county building inspector reached through the commissioners' office (main line 229-559-6538)
• Contact info is sparse online; call ahead to confirm current inspector and mobile home permit requirements

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.
