Manufactured Homes
Overview
Manufactured homes, sometimes referred to as mobile or modular homes, are an economical housing solution that have evolved from trailers and are now longer, heavier and more rigidly constructed. Because they are seldom moved once placed on a property, as much planning should go into the installation of a manufactured home as would be needed for a site built home.
All manufactured homes produced in Canada are required to carry a Canadian Standards Association Certification; either CSA Z240 for mobile homes, or CSA A277 for modular homes.
Manufactured homes used as residences on all properties within the Village of Valemount must bear a valid CSA certification decal, to be approved for use as a dwelling unit. The decal is usually found affixed to the cladding just to the left of the main entrance. When making non-structural changes to the exterior of a manufactured home, do not remove or deface the CSA decal.
Manufactured homes are required to be set up in a manner that meets or exceeds the BC Building Code, CSA standards and manufacturer’s instructions for site preparations, foundations and anchorage.
When ready for a final inspection, please contact Building Inspection Services.

Onsite Sewage
Overview
For projects not capable of connecting to the municipal sewer system, a copy of the Record of Sewerage System filed with the Northern Health Authority is required. A property is deemed capable of being connected to the Sewage Collection and Disposal System if the adjacent street, right of way or easement has a public Sewer Main which has sufficient capacity to provide for a Sewer Line.
If onsite sewage is present, and an addition or alteration involves additional bedrooms or plumbing, notification from the Northern Health Authority advising if the present sewage disposal system will accommodate the changes will be required. If alterations or improvements to the sewerage system are necessary, a copy of the Record of Sewerage System filed with the Northern Health Authority will be required.
Approval of the installation/alteration of the sewage disposal system is required prior to a final building inspection.
