Temporary Dwelling/Office Permit

Occupancy of temporary housing, including travel trailers, recreational vehicles, park models and single-wide manufactured homes during the construction of a permanent dwelling (site built or manufactured/factory-built) is allowed during the twenty-four (24) month period after the issuance of a building permit (and the building permit remains valid). A permit must be obtained prior to occupancy of the temporary housing. This permit cannot be applied for until a permit is issued for the primary residence. Contact the Customer Service and Permitting Unit for more information.

Timeline after permit issues.

Once the residence permit is issued, inspections must occur at least once every 180 days to show progress. If valid construction delays happen, extensions may be granted, but not guaranteed. Keep the county informed to prevent from being fined or your permit from being cancelled.
