QUESTIONS / ILLINOIS

Common questions.

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

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

Yes. FHA requires a state-licensed engineer. Our P.E. holds an active Illinois license. Every Illinois report carries that license number on the certification page.

FAQ 02What is the Illinois process for real property conversion?

Illinois requires a PE-sealed foundation certification, an Affidavit of Affixation recorded at the county recorder, and title elimination filed with the Secretary of State. We provide the PE documentation; your title company handles the Secretary of State filing.

FAQ 03Can you inspect manufactured homes anywhere in Illinois?

Yes. Our Illinois PE license covers the entire state. We actively inspect across northern, central, and southern Illinois — Rockford, Peoria, Springfield, Champaign, Decatur, and all points between.

Recording in Illinois: In Illinois, affidavits of affixation are recorded at the county recorder's office. The Illinois Secretary of State handles manufactured home title elimination.
