QUESTIONS / ARKANSAS

Common questions.

What lenders, underwriters, and buyers ask about FHA files on Arkansas properties.

FAQ 01Does Arkansas require a PE for manufactured home FHA inspections?

Yes. FHA requires a state-licensed engineer or architect. Our P.E. holds an active Arkansas license. Every report on Arkansas property is signed under that license.

FAQ 02What county office records affixation documents in Arkansas?

Arkansas affidavits of affixation are filed with the circuit clerk in the county where the property is located. We prepare the PE-sealed PFGMH certification; your title company or closing attorney handles the circuit clerk recording.

FAQ 03How long does an inspection take in Arkansas?

It depends on the property address and the report you need. Your quote confirms the field-visit window and the report-delivery target before you commit. If a closing date is driving the file, say so when you submit and we will tell you whether it can be met.

Recording in Arkansas: In Arkansas, affidavits of affixation are recorded at the county circuit clerk's office. Arkansas's manufactured home title cancellation is administered by the Department of Finance and Administration.
