All building codes and inspections are under the auspices of the California Department of Housing & Community Development or HCD. If you are thinking about fixing up a corner of your home, or are looking for a major remodel, you should start by looking at this HCD website to know when permitting is required.
In recent years the building codes relating to mobile and manufactured homes in a wildland/urban interface (W.U.I.) have changed drastically. Now, when you buy a new home to move into our community, these updated codes are included in the manufacturing for a W.U.I. area, making them considerably safer than most of the houses in Marin Valley. The codes apply to many aspects of construction not included in most of our residences, including the material of the siding, insulation, windows, earthquake bracing, shear walls, heaters, gutters, screens on air vents, and much more.
