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

• County directs applicants to contact the Irwin County/City of Ocilla Zoning Department and the county building inspector before starting work
• Code of ordinances is maintained by the County Clerk rather than posted on Municode; request copies through the clerk's office

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.
