Pre-HUD Mobile Homes

The Pre-HUD Mobile Home Ordinance (Ordinance 2006-10) restricts the moving of pre-HUD mobile homes (built before June 15, 1976) in Delta County. Upon the sale or transfer of title of any pre-HUD mobile home within the County, the mobile home may not thereafter be relocated to another location in Delta County unless the mobile home is permitted by the Delta County Planning Department following certification by a County approved inspector that the mobile home meets the standards set forth in Exhibit A of the Ordinance.

A Pre-HUD Disposal Certificate must be obtained upon the relocation of any pre-HUD mobile home from any parcel of land in the unincorporated areas of Delta County to any landfill in Delta County. Download the application.

Complaint Process

Delta County Code Compliance works to ensure all properties within unincorporated Delta County comply with the Delta County Land Use Code and Public Health Codes. Code Compliance works to improve the health, safety and aesthetic appearance of Delta County through a two-pronged approach of: 1) working with the property owner to achieve voluntary compliance; and 2) by pursuing legal action for uncorrected violations. Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) have been developed outlining the process step-by-step (See below).

Types of violations that WILL be investigated include:

• Land Use Codes/Standards (e.g.; setbacks)
• Rubbish (junk)
• Pre-HUD mobile homes
• Unpermitted wastewater disposal
• Unpermitted activity in the right of way

Types of Violations that WILL NOT be investigated include:

• Inoperable/unlicensed vehicles in a right-of-way:  Please contact the Sheriff's Office in unincorporated areas of Delta County or the appropriate jurisdiction's police department if in town or city limits.
