Mobile Home Permitting Process

Mobile Home Permit and Inspection Process
Permit Submission Requirements

Attach a completed Residential Development Order from Jackson County Community Development ($25.00) and a copy of the recorded land deed. If mobile home is to be placed on someone else's property, Community Development will require a notarized authorization letter from the land owner. (For questions regarding your Development Order, contact Community Development at 850-482-9637)

Note: This step is not required if your mobile home is going to be placed in an approved trailer park.

This step is not required if your mobile home is going to be placed inside the city limits, but you must obtain a development order from the City.
Complete a 911-Addressing form and turn it into the Building Department. (If you have questions on this form, please contact Jackson County E-911 by email or phone, 850-482-9683)
If you need a septic system, or have an existing tank, you must apply for a permit from the Jackson County Health Department Division of Environmental Health. The cost for a permit will be $305.00 for a new tank, $85.00 for an existing tank, or $175.00 for a repair permit. (Environmental Health can be reached at 850-482-9227.)
The fee for a mobile home set-up permit is $80.00. A Mobile Home Set-up Work Sheet / Blocking Plan must be purchased and filled out by the licensed installer.
A Licensed Electrical Contractor or the Home Owner must purchase an Electrical permit for $40.00, after the development order has been approved.
