(A) Each HUD-code manufactured home placed or replaced on a single lot within the city shall be inspected by the City Council or its designee to determine that its placement is in accordance with the provisions of this chapter. A fee for such placement inspection is hereby established and shall be collected in the amount specified in § 152.08. In consideration of such fee, the applicant shall be entitled to the original inspection of the placement of the manufactured home and one re-inspection for deficiencies, if required. An additional fee, as specified in § 152.08, is hereby imposed and shall be collected for the third and each subsequent re-inspection due to deficiencies concerning the manufactured home or its placement.
(B) The purpose of a placement permit under this chapter is to ensure that the manufacture home has been situated in a location that complies with this chapter, has been located so that it is in compliance with applicable setbacks and meets other municipal regulations that are enforceable by the city with respect to the use and occupancy of manufactured homes. No provision of this chapter shall be construed to require a city imposed inspection of the “installation” of the manufacture home as that term is defined by Tex. Revised Civil Statues article 522If, section (3). The City Council may conduct installation inspections on behalf of the state if so authorized by the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs, but no city permit or fee shall be imposed for that service.
