Yes, you can certainly put a mobile home on your property in Florida, but there are certain rules and regulations that you need to follow before doing so. If you own the land and the mobile home that is permanently attached to it, you can declare it as real property as per Florida Law. Here are some steps you need to take to ensure that you comply with the law and make the most of your mobile home:
Apply for a Real Property (RP) sticker with the Property Appraiser’s Office: You will need to apply for the RP sticker to show that your mobile home is real property. You can purchase this sticker at the Tax Collector’s Office.
Meet zoning requirements: Ensure that the location, size, and structure of your mobile home are in compliance with local zoning requirements.
Choose the right foundation: Your mobile home may require a foundation that is specific to the type of soil in your location. A qualified contractor can help you make this decision.
Secure proper permits: You may be required to obtain permits from local and state authorities depending on the type and size of your mobile home. Be sure to secure all permits before starting construction.
By following these steps, you can ensure that your mobile home is compliant with Florida Law and will be a comfortable and enjoyable space for years to come. Happy home building!
