Connecticut General Statutes 21-68a – Exemption of certain mobile manufactured homes from inspection provisions of State Building Code
Any mobile manufactured home manufactured prior to September 1, 1971, and any used mobile manufactured home sold on site or resited on an individual lot outside a mobile manufactured home park shall be exempt from any provisions of the State Building Code which would otherwise require a third-party inspection on resale or resiting. In the event of resale or resiting of a mobile manufactured home, the local building official in the town where the mobile manufactured home is to be located shall, upon the request of either party, inspect such unit and shall issue a certificate of approval in the case of an on-site sale or a certificate of occupancy in the case of a resiting, to the owner of such unit, provided such authority finds such unit safe for human habitation and the site meets local zoning requirements. A fee of not more than fifty dollars may be charged for such inspection by such building officials.
