Washoe County Manufactured Home and Fence Permit Guide

Washoe County property FAQs explain manufactured-home permit responsibility and residential fence thresholds for front yards, other yards, pool barriers, and required screening.

Permit takeaway

Washoe County says manufactured homes require inspections and/or building permits to ensure minimum public safety standards.

Zoning and placement

Residential fence exemptions depend on front-yard setback height, six-foot limits outside the front yard, pool-barrier use, required screening, setbacks, and access easements.

Building and trade review

Permitting for manufactured homes can involve unincorporated Washoe County, the State of Nevada, and some general improvement districts depending on location.
