Confirm the unit’s classification and the receiving parcel’s zoning with Richmond Planning before arranging the move. The city expressly says that removing a manufactured home’s chassis and placing it on a permanent foundation does not make it a modular home. Do not choose a receiving lot using the modular-home category solely because a permanent foundation is planned.
Foundation does not reclassify the home
Removing the chassis and using a permanent foundation does not make a manufactured home modular.
Different use-table treatment
The ordinance has a mobile/manufactured-home row; modular homes are included with detached single-family dwellings by a footnote.
The distinction appears in the Richmond Kentucky development ordinance, available from the Richmond Kentucky Planning and Zoning page. Its allowable-use table has a distinct mobile/manufactured-home row, while a footnote includes modular homes within detached single-family dwellings. That difference makes the classification relevant before the lot is treated as suitable.
Ask Planning about the actual parcel
A zoning-table entry does not settle every existing-site situation. Give Planning the home identification and receiving address, including whether the project replaces an existing unit. Have the office resolve the applicable use and any existing rights or conditions rather than infer them from a neighboring house.
Share the confirmed home category and destination
Include the Richmond, Kentucky address and the receiving review status when requesting transport. Foundation construction, installation and zoning decisions belong to their separately responsible parties.
Once that receiving question is resolved, the carrier can work with a specific destination and home description. Keep any remaining city decision visible in the schedule so the haul does not depend on an assumed reclassification.
