| # | When | Permit | Type | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | otherwise | yes | County Mobile/Manufactured Home Setup Permit + state Installer license | Installation ('setup') of a mobile or manufactured home may only be performed by a state-licensed installer; FS §320.8249 preempts installer licensing to the state (no separate local installer license on top of it), but the county still issues its own setup/placement permit tied to the lot and zoning district. |
