Sandoval County's Path to Manufactured Home Approval

After Sandoval county staff completes the zoning compliance, floodplain determination, and issuance of a new physical address (if applicable), the manufactured home placement permit application and plans must be taken to the New Mexico Manufactured Housing Division (MHD) at 5500 San Antonio Drive NE in Albuquerque for review and issuance of the building permit.  MHD also performs inspections in Sandoval County’s jurisdiction.
