Permits for moving a mobile home from one lot to another lot which had a home before
I am considering moving a mobile home from one lot to another in a mobile home community within the city of Edmonton, AB. The new lot has existing utility infrastructure and have had a mobile home in place before. I contacted the city of Edmonton and was informed that moving a mobile home is treated the same as building a new home, and all the following applies:
Development Permit Application
Combined Building, Mechanical Permit
Building & Mech Safety Codes
Wiring Electrical Permit
Underground Service Cable Permit
Electrical Safety Codes
Construction Water Rates 44¢/$1000 Construction Value
Sanitary Sewer Trunk Charge
Lot Grading Fee
To my knowledge, unlike a new home, all we would be doing is reconnecting the infrastructure, and considering that no modifications are to be made to the existing plumbing, electrical, sewer or the lot itself, so do all those permits apply? If not, which permits are applicable to the moving of the mobile home and reconnecting the utility infrastructure?
I am thinking that other than the utility infrastructure reconnections, everything else such as the lot grading, sewer, plumbing, electrical, underground service cable, building and mech safety codes have been inspected when the lot and the mobile home were first put into service, and we won't be using any construction water either.
Please shed some light, and thank you in advance ...
