You need a building permit to install a manufactured home
To install a manufactured home or mobile home, a building permit is required.
There are three different permit types for manufactured dwellings:
- Manufactured Dwellings on an Individual Lot (MI)
- Manufactured Dwellings in Parks (MP)
- Residential (RS) for accessory structures (these structures must be constructed per the International One and Two Family Dwelling Code)
Manufactured homes include modular homes, factory-built homes, and permanent mobile homes (mobile homes without wheels, on a foundation).
Depending on the scope of work, your project may also need electrical, plumbing, or mechanical permits ↗.
Who can do the work?
Contractors must have a license to work in Oregon. The Oregon Construction Contractors Board (CCB) ↗ issues licenses to contractors. The permit application and the company materials must list the license number. Need help finding a contractor? The CCB website has good tips on how to search for one. Plumbing and Electrical contractors have additional license requirements.
If you are a homeowner doing the work yourself, then you can sign the trade permit applications ↗. You cannot do the electrical work yourself. You must hire a licensed electrical contractor to do the electrical work. The State of Oregon has some helpful information for homeowners:
