Requirement that the owner of a mobile home obtain a building permit before initially locating, or relocating, the mobile home within the city.
(A) The term
MOBILE HOME, as used in this section, has the meaning defined for it in § 152.001.
(B) (1) Notwithstanding any provision of this code, or of the BOCA National Building Code, to the contrary, the owner of a mobile home shall apply for and obtain a building permit from the city before initially locating, or relocating, that mobile home within the city.
(2) This requirement shall apply regardless of whether the mobile home is to be placed upon a permanent foundation.
(C) The basic fee for a building permit for the initial locating, or for the relocating, of a mobile home within the city, shall be $75, regardless of whether the mobile home is to be placed upon a permanent foundation. The basic fee shall be considered to be for the city’s cost of inspecting the mobile home’s plumbing, plumbing hookups, electrical hookup, tie-downs and skirting.
(D) If the mobile home is placed on a foundation which must be inspected or, if the mobile home or the land on which it is located contains any improvements, accessories, garages or outbuildings which require inspections beyond those covered by the basic fee of $75, additional fees for those inspections shall be charged in accordance with the schedule of fees set forth in the city’s Ordinance 1987-17, adopted in Chapter 37 Appendix, and in any amendatory or successor ordinances thereto. In no event, however, shall the total fee, including the basic fee of $75 and all fees for additional required inspections charged, or a building permit for a mobile home, exceed what the total fee would have been if the mobile home were a conventionally constructed building having a size, improvements, accessories, garages and outbuildings comparable to those of the mobile home.
