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 website has a dedicated 'Placing a Manufactured Home' guide page plus building permit requirement pages.
• County ordinances address manufactured home placement/replacement in manufactured home parks on prepared pads; Chapter 18 of the code covers buildings and building regulations.

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.
