If your home in Albany, and unincorporated Dougherty County is not livable after Isaias, you may be able to stay on your own property while it is repaired. We deliver a furnished travel trailer to your driveway or yard, set it up, have it connected, and service it for the whole stay. When a carrier approves the trailer, we can bill the carrier directly.
Local rules. The joint Albany-Dougherty County zoning ordinance says an RV may not be used as living quarters outside a mobile home park, and we found no storm exception for a trailer on your own lot, so ask Planning and Development Services before delivery. Each rule is linked to its official source below.
Housing a crew? No code we found in Albany or Dougherty County lets a crew live in RVs on a job site; RVs go in RV parks or approved spaces at mobile home parks. Crew rules and housing

Whether a trailer can stay on your lot is decided by your city, or by the county outside city limits, and by your HOA if you have one. Here is what each one’s own code or official page says, in short. Our parent brand covers the residential RV rules for Albany and Dougherty County in detail.
Governor Kemp's executive order of October 8, 2026 declared a statewide state of emergency for Hurricane Isaias, covering all of Georgia; it has no county list. The order does not set a rule for trailers on residential lots; the city or county decides. The ordinance's only disaster housing provision lets the City/County Commission approve engineered temporary mobile home parks during a declared emergency, which is a park, not a trailer on your own lot. As of October 9, 2026, we found no Albany or Dougherty County local declaration for Isaias.
That depends on your policy and your adjuster. When a carrier approves the trailer, we can bill the carrier directly, so you are not fronting the cost. Our parent brand explains the claim side on 1st Choice Living’s Georgia page. Once the placement is arranged, the trailer, delivery, and service are ours.
Every size arrives furnished, with real beds, a full kitchen, a bathroom with a shower, and heat and air conditioning. More on a trailer on your property while you rebuild.
We work with any temporary housing company. If one is handling your housing, ask them to place you with Temporary RV Living, or with our parent brand, 1st Choice Living, for a trailer on your own lot in Dougherty County. They send us the placement, and we deliver, set up, and service the trailer.
For restoration, roofing, tree, utility, and response crews working in Albany, and unincorporated Dougherty County. Bring the housing to the work. We deliver travel trailers to the site, or as close as the ground allows, and set up and connect them the same way we do in a driveway. A two-person crew fits one trailer. A full crew takes a cluster, and the Workforce Bunkhouse sleeps six or more per trailer, with a kitchen and a bathroom the crew shares. One point of contact runs the placement, it lands on one invoice billed directly to the company, and we handle the LOA, COI, and compliance paperwork your office or your client requires.
For crew trailers, an RV park or an approved space at a mobile home park is where the ordinance puts an RV. Ask Albany-Dougherty Planning and Development Services at 229-438-3901 before anyone sleeps in an RV on a job site. More on crew housing.
Water, sewer or septic, and electrical connections are completed by licensed, insured contractors from our preferred vendor network, so you do not hire an electrician or a plumber. We look at how far the trailer will sit from the water, sewer, and power it will use, and confirm the site with you on the call before the trailer rolls.
Electric service in Dougherty County comes from the utilities below. Each posts its own outage and storm updates.
Septic: The zoning ordinance bars an RV parked on a residential lot from permanent sewer, water, or electric connections. Georgia's on-site sewage rules cover systems serving recreational vehicles and require a county health department permit before any part of a septic system is installed. If the trailer will tie into a septic system, ask the county health department first. Source: Georgia Department of Public Health, on-site sewage rules, Chapter 511-3-1
Call the office for the city where the trailer will sit, or the county office outside city limits. Ask whether a travel trailer may be used there, for how long, and which permits the hookups need.

Our sister brand LossMap covers documenting a property from the air before tarps go on and debris comes off, on LossMap’s Albany and Dougherty County page.
The joint Albany-Dougherty County zoning ordinance says an RV is not permitted as living quarters outside a mobile home park in the R-MHP district, and an RV parked on a residential lot is for storage only. We found no storm or repair exception, so ask Planning and Development Services at 229-438-3901 before anyone moves in.
No. The same joint zoning ordinance covers the City of Albany and the unincorporated county, and one shared Planning and Development Services department runs zoning for both. Ask that office about your address before delivery.
Governor Kemp's October 8, 2026 order declared a statewide state of emergency covering all of Georgia, but it does not set a rule for trailers on residential lots. The local ordinance's disaster provision covers temporary mobile home parks the Commission approves, not a trailer on your own lot.
No code we found allows it. The joint ordinance puts every RV in an RV park or an approved space at a mobile home park, and a temporary mobile office on a job site is an office, not housing. Ask Planning and Development Services before delivery.
We deliver, set up, and service trailers nationwide, and have since 2004. Put the Dougherty County address in the request form and we confirm the site with you on the call. Plan a delivery only once local officials, including Albany-Dougherty County Emergency Management, say the roads are safe.
Official pages and official code hosts, checked October 9, 2026. Rules can change after a storm; the office that wrote the rule has the final word.
