• Swimming pools (where provided) that are safe and disease free
• Garbage and debris-free establishments
• Establishments that are free from harmful insects and rodent infestations

Opening a Facility

To apply for a new permit, complete an Application for Mobile Home Park, Mobile Home Park Housing Migrant Farmworkers, Lodging Park, Recreational Vehicle Park and Recreational Camp and submit it, along with a plan of your park, information on the water system, the sewage disposal system, any swimming pools, and the required permit fee to the Environmental Public Health Section of the county health department where your park or camp is located.

The plans for a new park or camp must be drawn to scale and include the area and dimensions of the tract of land; the space number or other designation of the space; the location and size of all proposed mobile home, recreational vehicle, or tent spaces; the location of roadways; and the location of any added service buildings. The permit fee is based on the number of spaces your park has.

These facilities must obtain an annual operating permit from the Environmental Public Health division in accordance with state law. The annual permit fee is based on the number of spaces the park has.
