Frequently Asked Questions

How is mobile home rental inspection different from standard rentals in Provo?

Both run on the same underlying rule: Section 6.30.120 applies Section 6.01.070 to mobile home rental dwellings just as Section 6.26.120 applies it to standard rentals, so the license-tied inspection, no-fee rule, and 36-month cycle work identically for both property types.

How often will Provo reinspect a licensed mobile home rental dwelling?

After an initial inspection leads to license approval, Section 6.01.070(2) generally exempts the dwelling from another inspection for thirty-six months, unless the City develops reasonable cause under Section 6.01.070(3) to believe a violation has occurred.

What standards does the inspection check for a mobile home rental dwelling?

The inspection verifies the twelve conditions in Section 6.30.100, including structural integrity, working utility systems, fire-rated separation between units, operational smoke alarms, and proper street addressing, each subject to the Chief Building Official's approval.

Is there a fee for the mobile home rental inspection?

No. Section 6.01.070(1)(b), which Section 6.30.120 incorporates, states no fee shall be charged for inspecting a rental dwelling, and that no-fee rule extends to mobile home rental dwellings licensed under Chapter 6.30.
