Inspections of all manufactured homes installed in Ohio began in July of 2007. Previous regulation was restricted to mobile home parks and regulated by the local health department. The Ohio Department of Health and the Ohio Manufactured Home Commission are charged with the oversight of the current rules. All homes must be installed by an installer licensed by the Commission and undergo three inspections prior to occupancy. Manufactured homes installed outside a mobile home park must contact the Manufactured Home Commission for the inspections. Homes installed in a mobile home park must contact the Ohio Department of Health for inspections.  The  Defiance County Health Department is currently working with the Ohio Department of Health to start providing the inspections in mobile home parks.
