Start with these Washington checks
- Confirm which city or county has jurisdiction over the property and whether the proposed manufactured home is allowed there.
- Coordinate the local installation permit and inspection with a Washington-certified installer and the required WAINS certification tag.
- Ask about soil bearing, frost depth, snow load, flood or hazardous areas, wildfire protection, utilities, and accessory structures.
- Decide whether the home will remain titled as personal property or follow Washington's title-elimination process when requirements are met.
