What does the Temporary Residence Unit do?
The Unit regulates temporary residences such as hotels and motels, cottage colonies, children’s overnight, day and travel camps, campgrounds, migrant farmworker housing and mobile home parks. In addition to routine inspection, operators of these facilities are required to obtain operating permits from this office. The permit to operate must be displayed in a conspicuous place on the premises. Also, plans for the construction of new facilities or alterations of existing facilities shall be submitted to the Unit for review and approval prior to the commencement of such work.
