Do I need a building permit for my manufactured home?
It's already built.
You do need a building permit for your manufactured home per the State of WI (SPS 320.02(1)(d). So whether you are replacing an existing manufactured home or moving a new or used manufactured home onto your property, you are required to get a building permit.
FYI
Some municipalities have zoning ordinances that may dictate style, size, year, and location of your manufactured home. Please check the zoning requirements in your municipality.
Documents that May Be Required
CSM or PLAT MAP
A property may have a certified survey map or recorded plat map for the development. These documents can be obtained from the County Register of Deeds. This document may show the setbacks for the property as well as any easements or pre-platted driveways. If the property is part of a development, we need the complete plat map for the development (in order to see notes and the legend pertaining to the development.) We do not want the house stake out plan for this requirement. (The house stake-out plan, however, is sufficient for the site plan.) We want the official document recorded at the County that includes a legend. Note: It will have a stamped county seal. If your property is unplatted and a formal map is not available, it is your responsibility to contact the zoning administrator for your property for setbacks or any other information pertinent to zoning.
Municipal Approval
Some municipalities require town board approval for your home. Some municipalities have comprehensive town plans that must be taken into consideration. (For example, you are required to get town board approval if you are building in the Town of Maiden Rock.) Some areas are under municipal zoning. Make sure your plans fit the municipality guidelines. If a variance of some sort is required, you need to turn in the approval,
Copy of Recorded Deed
If you have had a recent property transfer, you must provide a copy of the recorded deed if the transfer has not yet been updated in the Pierce County or St. Croix County GIS.
SPS 320.10 On-Site Inspections of Manufactured Homes The inspections shall follow the same general procedure as the stick-built home. There shall be an inspection of the excavation, footing, foundation, below and above grade foundation insulation, and a final inspection. All of the rough inspections on the home itself will have been made by certified inspectors in the plant. The municipality or agency performing on-site inspections will be responsible for inspecting the electrical, plumbing, structural and insulation systems installed at the site. Although in-plant work may be done by non-licensed workers, any on-site work must be done by properly credentialed workers and contractors.
