Manufactured Home / Factory-Built Building (FBB) Installation Permit in Springerville, Arizona
Required for installation of a manufactured, mobile, or factory-built home in the Town of Springerville. Construction standards are federally preempted under HUD's 24 CFR §3280 (all of Arizona is HUD Design Roof Load Zone 'South', 20 psf); installation standards under 24 CFR §3285 are NOT federally preempted, so the Town may and does impose its own local requirements. The Town issues the local installation permit, utility connections, and inspections.

Tips
- CONFIRMED GAP: no review-timeline (plan-review turnaround) figure is published for this permit type on either the Town's local Manufactured Home Installation Permit Application or the State's Factory Built-Building Installation Permit Application; only the 6-month expiration and per-inspection fee structure are stated. Contact the Building Department (928-333-2656 ext. 227) directly for current processing expectations.
- Construction standards for manufactured homes are federally preempted under 24 CFR §3280 — all of Arizona is designated HUD Design Roof Load Zone 'South' (20 psf), per the Arizona Department of Fire, Building and Life Safety's own May 24, 2010 clarification letter. However, INSTALLATION standards under 24 CFR §3285 are NOT federally preempted, so Springerville (like any AZ local jurisdiction) may require a stricter local snow-load/installation standard for NEW manufactured homes than the 20 psf federal construction floor.
- Two distinct fee structures appear on the Town's own January 15, 2025 fee schedule for this same general category: a flat 'Mobile/Manufactured Home' permit fee of $700 under Manufactured/Modular/FBB Permits, versus the per-inspection ($94) figures stated directly on the application form itself — these likely represent different cost components of the same overall permit (application/plan review vs. per-inspection charges) rather than a contradiction, but applicants should confirm the total cost breakdown directly with the Building Department.
- Certificate of Occupancy will be sent upon request after all inspections pass.
- Gas utility testing is required on all new AND used units, per the Utility Testing Report Form.
