Tips

  • Per the A.R.S. § 9-835 timeframes document, both 'Manufactured Home' and 'Park Model' are the fastest-reviewed categories on the City's entire timeframes table: 1 business day administrative review, 2 business days 1st review, 2 business days 2nd review if needed — 5 business days overall (3 if no 2nd review is required).
  • The City's fee schedule now points applicants to the State of Arizona for the MH pit-set/ground-set fee itself (rather than a City dollar amount), reflecting that factory-built home construction/installation standards are a state — not municipal — regulatory function in Arizona; confirm the current state fee directly with the Arizona Department of Fire, Building and Life Safety, Office of Manufactured Housing.
