Hopkins Code of Ordinances ch. 26 § 26-89 makes clear that the park owner bears responsibility for confirming permits are in place before a manufactured home moves in, which can be relevant if a tenant experiences problems tied to an unpermitted or non-code-compliant installation. Tenants who believe their home was installed without required permits or outside city building code standards may consider contacting the Hopkins city building or code enforcement office to inquire about permit records.
