Are there differences in the permit requirements between site built and modular homes?
No, there are no differences. A modular home must conform or comply with the local building requirements of where the home will be placed. Mobile homes, in contrast, do have substantially different permit or code requirements – but these do not pertain to modular homes. Modular homes may cost less for permits because they are pre-inspected at the factory before ever arriving on the construction site. Check with your builder, and the local building inspector.
