The Union County Health Department makes two inspections a year at the county manufactured home parks, typically in the spring and fall. These are unscheduled, walk-through inspections. The results of the inspections are mailed to the owners and park managers. Any violations are expected to be corrected within a reasonable time frame.
Manufactured home parks in Ohio are regulated under the authority of Chapter 3733 of the Ohio Revised Code (ORC).
Manufactured home park:
Means any tract of land upon which three or more manufactured homes used for habitation are parked. Manufactured home parks are subject to the rules for construction, drainage, flood plain management, sanitation, safety and operation as specified in Chapter 3701-27 of the Ohio Administrative Code (OAC).
Placement of a new home:
Park managers must complete and return a placement form to the Union County Health Department. If the lot requires more than 25% improvement, such as new runners, management must complete a lot plan review and receive approval from the Ohio Department of Health before a new home can be placed. Please contact ODH at (614) 466-1390 for more information.
Home owners or park managers are required to contact the Union County Auditor's office and the Union County Building Department to obtain the proper permits.
Ohio Manufactured Home Commission:
Manufactured homes within manufactured home parks must be installed and inspected in accordance with standards adopted by the Ohio Manufactured Homes Commission as specified in Chapters 4781-6 and 4781-7 of the OAC. For more information contact the Ohio Manufactured Homes Commission at (614) 734-8454 or visit their website.
