Here is the short version of where someone can put a mobile home in Kankakee County. Never can it be put on a lot that is zoned residential. Then any of the three scenarios can work.
- It must be zoned Ag with a minimum of 20 acres . Then it does not have to have a permanent foundation. or
- If the property is a legal nonconforming parcel....meaning if the property has between 2-20 acres and was divided out that way before 5/14/1996 then a mobile home can be put on the lot with a permanent foundation. The set back lines would need to apply here as when a home is put on a lot. or
- If the property is less than 2 acres and was created before 1967 (for instance there was an old farmstead on the parcel and it has burned down), then a mobile home can be put on the property with a permanent foundation.
I hope this helps you understand where a mobile home is allowed in Kankakee County.
As I understand it, there is some property that is north of Irwin that is 5 acres that has been grandfathered into the zoning laws and a mobile home can be placed there.
I know that you want to have a home soon, I hope I can help you find the right spot.
