Welcome Cushing Park Mobile Homeowner!

 

In Case of Emergency

Tips on Mobile Home Ownership

Septic tank

• Know where your tank is located
• Know when your tank was last pumped out
• Contact a reputable septic service provider for assistance (see below for suggestions if you don’t have someone to call)

Winterizing your mobile home (if not leaving heat on through winter months)

• Know where your water cutoff is located
• Know how to drain your pipes
• Water damage to mobile homes can be extremely costly

Tax Bills

• Must be paid annually to Cherokee County Tax Commissioner (678-493-6300). County decals for mobile homes will no longer be issued effective 2022, but you must stay current with your Cherokee County tax bill.

 

Mobile Home/Leased Lot Maintenance and Construction

• Any external maintenance, additions, replenishment of materials on your mobile home or your leased lot must be sent to the Cushing Park Mobile Home Committee at [insert email address when Mike receives it from Bobby] for approval or for forwarding to the Board for approval or forwarding to the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). The request form for maintenance and construction can be found here [insert link to form on Cushing website here when Mike receives it from our webmaster]. Failure to do so will result in member being required to place the property back in its original configuration at member’s expense.
• For emergency purposes, mobile homeowners must display their lot number in a prominent location on their mobile home/lot such that it can be seen from the road. If you are unsure of your lot number, you can find it on your lease or contact your Area Representative below.
• The USACE prohibits cutting any trees on USACE property (on your leased lot or anywhere else in the park). The Board and maintenance committee should be notified of any dead trees. Removal of dead trees will be coordinated by the park.
