Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Barton Code § 97-6, a compliant mobile home park or lot operator can expect the Code Enforcement Officer to conduct an initial inspection before an occupancy certificate is issued for any mobile home placed on a lot. Operators who maintain their properties in accordance with Chapter 97 are generally prepared to accommodate these inspections and respond to any compliance inquiries. Keeping documentation of maintenance, permits, and communications with the Code Enforcement Officer is a practice commonly associated with smooth occupancy certification.
