Use this checklist to verify what paper work you will need to submit to the Building Department to start the process for a Residential and/or a Commercial project. Most of the forms mentioned can be located under Permit Applications/Forms.
Mobile Home Requirements
In order to get a set-up permit for a mobile home you will need to submit this packet COMPLETED. A Florida Licensed Mobile Home Installer is responsible for pulling this permit. If licensed installer wants the homeowner and/or property owner to pull permit, the licensed installer will need to provide the customer with a notarized affidavit stating: "The owner is pulling the permit for the installer."
Pre-Inspection Requirements
All used mobile homes have to be pre-inspected before being set up in Madison County. Technical Advisory Effective October 13, 2004 states: All Mobile Manufactured Homes set or re-set in the State of Florida must have a permanently attached data plate placard identifying the home as a wind zone II or III. As of October 13, 2004 Wind Zone I homes can not be re-set in the State of Florida. Wind Zone I trailers can not be set or re-set as storage sheds or shelters in commercial or residential uses.
Prior to purchasing a Mobile Manufactured Home or Trailer verify with the seller that the Wind Resistance is a Hurricane Resistant Wind Zone II or III. Prior to acquiring a permit to set a used mobile home, a pre-inspection permit is required to have a county inspector verify compliance with the wind zone category required by the State of Florida. If upon inspection the inspector determines the home is not a wind zone II or III the set up permit will not be issued. There will be no refunds of pre-inspection fees for homes that do not pass inspection. BEWARE, under Florida law these type structures can be sold but not set.
