Check the home’s wind rating with the receiving applicant and installer before arranging delivery to New Bern. The city application calls for Wind Zone II or III and records the HUD label number. Complete the zoning and plot-plan documents as well; the city says it will not review an incomplete submission until the required information arrives.
Wind Zone II or III
Check the rating and HUD label number against the city's manufactured-home application.
Missing documents stop review
The city will not review an incomplete submission until the required information arrives.
Mark each trade's scope
Applicable trades need contractor details and authorizations; the form also allows a trade to be marked not required.
The New Bern Development Services document center provides the current New Bern manufactured-home permit application. It distinguishes new from used homes, single-wide from multi-wide units, and individual lots from park locations. Match those entries to the actual home and receiving address.
Include the home identification with the transport inquiry
Provide the New Bern destination, home sections and receiving-review status. Ask for hauling with installation, trade permits and utility connections handled by the separately identified responsible parties.
Assign the trade information before submitting
| Planning point | What the existing guidance says |
|---|---|
| Applicable trade | When electrical, plumbing, mechanical or gas work applies, the form requests the relevant contractor details and a subcontractor authorization for each trade. |
| Trade not needed | It also provides a way to mark a trade as not required. |
| Applicant's task | The receiving applicant should complete those fields rather than leave the city to infer the project’s scope. |
Pass the application’s actual status to the carrier. A file awaiting missing documents is a different scheduling position from a completed review, even if the home is physically ready to leave its current site.
