Common Questions About Buying in Columbia

Do I need a building permit for a manufactured home in Columbia?

A county building permit is required when setting a manufactured home anywhere in Maury County. Cities in the county may also require their own city permit.

Can I put a single wide manufactured home in Columbia?

Single section homes typically cannot be set in Columbia city limits. Outside of city limits Maury County usually allows single wide homes to be set, provided they are no more than 15 years old. Always check with local municipalities to confirm a single section home is allowed on your property.

How do I get a septic permit in Columbia?

Before you can obtain a septic permit in Maury County the property may need to be tested by a state approved soil scientist if the property is less than five acres. Once you have a soil map, you can apply for the permit with the Tennessee Department of Environment & Conservation. You can apply online through the state’s septic permit portal. Before applying, make sure the property lines and proposed home location are clearly marked, since that information is needed for review. The current application cost is typically $500, but buyers should confirm the final fee through the state portal before submitting. You can apply for a septic permit online here.

Can I put a second home on my property in Columbia?

In most cases Maury County will require the parcel of land to measure five or more acres to put a second home on it. If the property is less than five acres it will likely need to be subdivided before being able to place another home on it. We advise confirming with Maury County building and zoning before attempting to subdivide.
