MANUFACTURED HOME INSTALLATION PERMIT APPLICATION
Secure a manufactured home permit before you start installing your manufactured home.
PURPOSE
The manufactured home permit application is required by Ohio Administrative Code Chapter 4781. All manufactured homes installed in Ohio require a manufactured home permit application and completion of the three required inspections before the home is permitted to be occupied. This is to ensure the home is being installed according to the manufacturer's specifications or applicable state installation code.

WHY STATE INSPECTIONS ARE SO IMPORTANT
State inspections are a mandatory part of the installation process. But there's a reason why they're so important. That's because inspections:
Reveal issues with the foundation
Find problems with electrical systems
Show any other difficulties that need to be fixed
