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 operates out of the Board of Commissioners office; building without a permit is one of the violations it enforces, with voluntary compliance sought first.
• Inside Sylvania city limits, permits are handled by the City of Sylvania (912-564-7411; permits page at cityofsylvaniaga.com).

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.
