Mobile/Manufactured Homes

Proof of Ownership:

You may need proof of Manufactured Home (MH) ownership for an insurance claim or FEMA disaster assitance application. You can get a copy of your ownership documents from the Oregon MHODS website.

Repairs:

Ordinary repairs to an existing home typically don't require a building permit. However, contractors must be licensed for the type of work they are doing.

Permits:

If you are planning to repair or replace a MH, learn about State and County rules for manufactured homes. Cities may have additional restrictions.
In most cases, you will need a permit to install a new MH, and installers must have an MDI license. For more information, contact your jurisdiction's Planning and Building department:
- Jackson County Development Services (for land outside city limits), 541-774-6900
- City of Talent Community Development, 541-535-7401
- City of Phoenix Planning & Building, (541) 535-2050 Ext. 316

Landlords/Tenants:

If you were a tenant of a property destroyed by fire, your tenancy ended when the fire destroyed the property. You should not owe rent beyond that date. You are not entitled to resume tenancy after rebuilding.
For teminated tenancies, the security deposit is owed within 31 days from the date of termination.
Contact Oregon State Tenants Association for support: 1-800-423-9371
For assistance with landlord/tenancy issues: John VanLandingham, Oregon Law Center, johnvl@oregonlawcenter.org

Clean-up:

MH owners who resided in a MH park are not responsible for clean-up. Coordinated clean-up efforts among federal, state and local agencies will cover most or all of the costs.
Manufactured homeowners do not need to submit a right of entry form for the first phase of clean-up (Hazardous Houshold Waste) . We will add information for phase 2 (debris and ash) as it becomes available.

Buying a new MH

Cash incentives are available to help homeowners replace their lost MH with a new, energy efficient model.
