North Dakota Code Differs From Minnesota When it Comes to Modular Homes
August 22, 2011
Did you know you can’t purchase a Minnesota code modular home and set it up in North Dakota? Many don’t know this until it is too late. Make sure when you are shopping for a modular home to go into North Dakota that you make sure it is certified for that state.
North Dakota has a different electrical code, which requires some addtional features they feel is important for their climate and a more extensive energy package. Even if you are told the home is North Dakota certified make sure to ask for proof. The inspector will ask for it and require it.

Don’t Forget Your Minnesota Building Permit When Buying a Manufactured Home
August 10, 2011
Did you know, currently if you purchase a new or used manufactured home and have it set-up in a non-inspected area that you are still responsible to acquire a building permit from the State of Minnesota? When I ask this question, the answer is usually, I did not know that.
This will be the second year that the state of Minnesota requires your manufactured home to be set-up by licensed installers and inspections completed. The overall permit cost can range from $700-$1,400 depending on your area, amount of inspections and size of project. These inspections cover items such as piers, blocking, anchoring and exterior steps.
The state of Minnesota takes this permit seriously and may fine those who don’t acquire one and may ask you to re-set your home with a certified installer. It can turn into a costly oversight.
