Any new Manufactured Home Community or existing Manufactured Home Community undergoing remodeling or a change of ownership must first submit a Plan Review. Plan Reviews are due 45 days prior to the planned construction date for new builds or remodels, and 45 days prior to opening for desired opening date under new management. If the Community meets the following requirements, your plan review may be submitted to the Marshall County Health Department:

If the above requirements are not met OR if the community consists of eleven (11) or more units utilizing an on-site sewage disposal system, Plan Reviews must be submitted to the WV Department of Health Environmental Engineering Division.
