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

Manufactured Home Notes

• Code enforcement focuses on county ordinances (solid waste, litter, animal control); building permit questions can also go through the commissioners' office at 3 Freeman Street, 912-739-1141
• County ordinances are posted on the county website rather than Municode; call to confirm current mobile home permit rules

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.
