Plan Set Requirements

If installing panels on both the MH and a detached garage, the detached garage will need a set of plans showing only the panels being installed on it. This is because the garage is permitted through the local AHJ rather than the housing division and will be receiving a separate permit.


Plans must be Stamped and Digitally signed by both Electrical and Structural Engineers.
