Does anyone know if an office trailer is considered a mobile "home"/ manufactured "home" and whether or not a person can obtain permits for an office trailer to become a vacation cabin?

Btw Brian there's an amazing Hempcrete company right in Ashville, NC. Please watch the short video. They explain the benefits better than I do. If builders just make the walls thicker the R-Value is just fine.

The building codes are generally lax around the area. I realized after I originally posted that some office trailers are 60' long so it makes no real difference about the length. What matters is that the structure has a solid steel frame so it can be tied down to deal with bad weather.

I like Hempcrete because of the thermal mass for temperature regulation, acoustic insulation and excellent control of humidity (preventing mold). It's also easy to work with, light-weight, and lasts centuries. When incorporated into a building, if it is torn down, the product can be recycled into further hemp wall construction.

Hello everyone I'm interested in getting a 27' office trailer from ebay and then insulating with hempcrete. Does anyone know if a 27' structure will be accepted as a "mobile home"?

Although the gentleman in the land planning department said 27' is ok I wonder if he knows that it's an office trailer and not a "single wide". I just don't want to run into problems later after I purchase the structure. Any insight into land use and permits would be appreciated.

I'm considering purchasing a 27 foot long "office trailer" for my land in colorado. The Land Use Code definition, however, says a mobile home is a 36' structure. Does this mean there will be a problem with any inspector if I get this more affordable trailer which is 27 feet? Thanks for any insight in advance.

I'm looking at a land description for a parcel in Conejos county Colorado. This county is known to have little to no building codes according to http://sustainablebuildingcodes.blogspot.com/

The land description reads:
Zoning Definition: R (Residential): Single-family dwelling and accessory structures allowed. Non-commercial farming allowed as long as within county water use policies.

Anyone think this is a lax as it gets? or does the mention of "single-family dwelling" possibly suggest they will have extra codes and have adopted more? The assessor's office is not open now but I'll call later. Any input from this community would be greatly appreciated.
