If you are required to pay tap fees, acquire your paperwork from the Building Inspections Department but will pay the fees at the Water Department, along with your deposit. It usually takes a couple of weeks for Public Works to set you taps. If you have any questions, call 281-420-5316.

Before footings or the manufactured home are placed on site, a Pre-placement inspection is required. When approved, the manufactured home can placed and anchored, stairs and landings installed and all utilities connected. Inspections for setup, stairs and landings, plumbing, Mechanical, gas and electrical can then be requested. Utilities will not be turned on until they pass inspection. The driveway and off street parking must be inspected before concrete is placed. After the driveway is complete and the skirting is installed you must call for a final inspection.

Please refer to the manufactured home inspection procedure outline for further information of required inspections.

City of Baytown ordinance prohibits anyone from moving into a manufactured home until all final inspections have passed.
