Tips

  • Manufactured homes and factory-built buildings are NOT reviewed under the SFD/ADU residential building permit track — always use the dedicated manufactured-home permit path and Part III fee schedule.
  • Manufacturer, installer, and retailer licensing is a STATE function (Arizona Department of Fire, Building and Life Safety, Office of Manufactured Housing) — the county's own permit covers only local site/foundation/utility compliance.
