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

• County has a dedicated Manufactured Home ordinance administered by Planning & Zoning (same building); variances and placement questions go through that department.
• Building Inspection covers construction in both unincorporated and incorporated areas of the county.

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.
