Tips

  • This is a Town-level local permit layered on top of (not a replacement for) Arizona's statewide manufactured-home installation permit — both the state installation fee/insignia and the City's own $400 Manufactured Homes fee apply.
  • No manufactured-home-specific review timeline is separately published by the City; this file applies the same general 4-20 business-day range published in the Building Plan Guidelines, since these permits are processed through the same Building Safety Division review queue.
