Annual mobile living park inspections seek to minimize health and safety issues that can occur at these locations. There is no fee change with this update.
Annual Registration
Development Services Code Enforcement is the department responsible for issuing licenses for mobile living parks operating within the City of San Antonio.
Annual registration begins 60 days prior to permit expiration. This process will begin August 1 of each year.
Requirements
You must provide the following information to register for your annual license:
- Zoning Verification Letter or Nonconforming Use Registration (PDF)
-
Zoning verification letters are good for 3 years provided that there are no changes to the property.
- Zoning Verification Letter: An official letter from a city or county that confirms how a property is zoned and what that zoning allows.
- Nonconforming Use Registration: A way to officially document that a property is being used legally in a way that doesn't match today's zoning rules, because the use existed before the zoning rules changed.
- National Criminal Background Checks
-
National criminal background checks of owner(s) and operator(s) issued from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) are required every two years.
NOTE: Only national background checks issued directly from the FBI will be accepted for background check requirements. Other licenses or permits, such as firearm or real estate licenses that have a background check review, will not be accepted.
Processing
National criminal background checks of owner(s) and operator(s) are required every two years.
We are allowing 60 days to complete this requirement. The FBI website lists locations in cities where digital fingerprinting is available for an additional fee. New background checks do not need to be submitted for the September 30 deadline.
When background checks and fingerprinting services can be obtained, licensed properties that have not fulfilled this requirement will be notified. A timeline to complete this requirement will be provided at that time.
National background checks can be obtained via the following means:
Due to the time required to receive results, it is recommended that applicants submit a digital application (results typically received 3 to 5 business days upon receipt of the required fingerprint card), instead of the written application (14 to 16 weeks to receive results).
- Septic System
-
If a septic system is in use, a letter from Bexar County Environmental Services must state all operating requirements have been met. The septic system letter is good for five years.
- Annual Fees
-
- Annual license fee of $36 for each usable mobile living park site, occupied or unoccupied.
- Other costs may be associated with obtaining the zoning verification letter, national background check, etc.
