I'm looking to buy a new MH. But now I'm starting to wonder about gov't regs.
The existing MH has been on this lot for 30+ years. At the same time, I'm considering the possibility of moving to a new park instead of putting it on this lot. The lots at the new park have had MHs previously but the park mgr told me yesterday that there's a lengthy/expensive process with getting approval install a MH. But since the sewer lines, water lines (city water and sewer) & electric lines are already there, I don't know what to think.
Any ideas?

Ask your building dept. I know that in Pettis County, regs outside of city limits are non-existent. Inside, a building permit would be required, which means inspections. No big deal, just use a reputable installer. But ask.

Yes, check with zoning/building/codes office to get the straight scoop.
Even if you have to get a variance to replace the existing mobile, go that way. Do what ever you can to stay out of a park, it's just not worth it in the long run.
We had to get a variance to replace the old mobile with our's when we bought property, took about a month to get everything in place legally .

I'm already in a park (and overall, I do like it here). But there are also good things about this other park as well.
There is no building code to worry about - - I already checked that.
The issue from what I've been told is more about environmental type permits.
