What must an application for a permit include?

The application for a permit must include a fee and proof of compliance because these components are essential to ensure that the proposed installation of a manufactured home meets all regulatory and safety standards set by the state. The fee is typically required to cover administrative costs associated with processing the permit. Proof of compliance typically demonstrates that the home adheres to local building codes and zoning requirements, which is crucial for the safety of the residents and integrity of the community.

The other options do not encapsulate the required elements adequately. The signature of the homeowner alone would not suffice as it omits necessary documentation and the financial aspect of the application process. A letter from the county assessor, while potentially useful for assessing property taxes or valuation, is not a standard requirement for obtaining a permit for a manufactured home. Blueprints may be needed at certain stages of the approval process but are not universally required as part of the initial permit application. Thus, only the combination of a fee and proof of compliance accurately reflects what is needed to submit a valid application for a building permit.
