Section 48-161 allows the same, newer or improved manufactured, mobile or modular home to replace a nonconforming home within three months of removal. Confirm the property’s qualifying status before relying on that provision.
Three months from removal
Section 48-161 measures its replacement window from removal of the qualifying nonconforming home.
Replacement unit standard
The provision addresses the same, newer or improved home; a vacant pad alone does not establish eligibility.
Keep removal and replacement together
Section 48-161 of the Lebanon replacement and nonconforming-home rules addresses a home removed from the land where it exists. Its replacement window is measured from removal, so record that date and discuss the intended replacement with the city before the first haul is released.
A vacant pad alone does not establish that the site qualifies. Ask for the lawful prior-use record and the city’s treatment of the proposed unit. The adjoining provision keeps applicable laws and regulations in force for nonconforming homes; the replacement rule is not an exemption from every other requirement.
Coordinate the Lebanon replacement
Include the planned removal date, replacement dimensions and property status.
A new placement is a different question
Lebanon’s general mobile-home rule concerns approved parks in RS-4 or RS-5 zoning, while the nonconforming replacement section addresses a particular existing situation. Do not turn one rule into a blanket statement that every private-lot replacement is prohibited or that any new placement is allowed.
Tell the mover whether the job removes the old unit, delivers its replacement or includes both movements. Coordinate the receiving permit and installer separately. Transportation does not supply site preparation, utility work or a guarantee that the replacement will be approved within the available window.
