Check the Manufactured Home Installation pathway as well as any applicable Structure Moving/Demolition review. Prattville’s guidance puts the overall building permit before trade permits; a hauling quote does not complete that sequence.
Two application categories
Manufactured Home Installation is distinct from Structure Moving/Demolition.
Building before trades
The city's guidance places the overall building permit before the trade permits.
Identify what is holding up the receiving work
The Prattville building-permit guidance separates Manufactured Home Installation from Structure Moving/Demolition and describes the relationship between building and trade permits. Ask the owner or installer whether the overall permit is issued or still in review before arranging work that depends on it.
Have the city identify the applications for the actual home and move. Do not assume that selecting a structure-moving category approves installation at the destination, or that an installation application authorizes use of the road route.
Coordinate a Prattville move
Include the home size and whether the receiving building permit has been issued.
Assign the handoffs before choosing a date
- Receiving applicant
- Track building and zoning review and communicate the permit status.
- Installer and trade contractors
- Arrange the applicable setup, electrical, plumbing and other permitted work in the required sequence.
- Transporter
- Evaluate the home, endpoints and loaded route for the proposed haul.
Use those separate responsibilities when comparing quotes. Provide the carrier with the destination access and contact, and identify any unresolved receiving dependency. This transport inquiry does not promise installation, utility work, site preparation, permit issuance or an approved occupancy date.
