(I)
The division shall conduct a full design and plan review and inspection of the construction of factory-built structures to the extent the design and construction relates to work performed off site or work that is completed at the installation site as reflected in the approved plans for the factory-built structure. A local government shall not duplicate efforts to review or approve the construction of a factory-built structure that is under review or approved by the division nor shall it charge building permit fees to cover the cost of plan reviews or inspections performed by the division. A local government's jurisdiction is limited to work done at the installation site in compliance with subsection (6) of this section and includes associated plan review, permits, inspections, and fees.
(II)
The division may authorize a local government to inspect and approve work that is completed at the installation site as reflected in the approved plans for the factory-built structure. A local government may charge inspection fees if authorized to assist the division to inspect and approve work on a factory-built structure that is completed at the installation site as reflected in the approved plans for the factory-built structure.

(4)
A factory-built structure bearing an insignia of approval issued by the division and affixed by the division or an authorized quality assurance representative pursuant to this part 33 is deemed to be designed and constructed in compliance with the requirements of all codes and standards enacted or adopted by the state and accounting for any local government installation requirements adopted in compliance with sections
24-32-3310
and

that are applicable to the construction of factory-built structures, to the extent that the design and construction relates to work performed in a factory or work on a factory-built structure that is completed at the installation site as reflected in the approved plans for the factory-built structure. The determination by the division of the scope of such approval is final. An insignia of approval affixed to the factory-built structure does not expire unless the design and construction of the factory-built structure has been modified from approved plans.
