Replacing old mobile home with new one in Grand Fathered Mobile home park

Is there a rule that cities follow regarding replacing an old mobile home with a new one? Do we need to apply for a permit before moving or demolishing the old home?

We had a tenant move out without giving notice, and the old home was removed. Now the city is saying that because the permit was not approved before the home was moved, the grandfathered status is lost.

What are the options I have in city of Grand Prairie, TX

You need to check with your local government. Every city/county/state has their own set of rules. Play by their rules and you will be fine for the most part. I would check into the grandfathering part. Don’t be afraid to use an attorney.
