If your home in Marianna, Graceville, Sneads, and unincorporated Jackson 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. Florida law keeps a city or county from barring one temporary shelter on a damaged home's lot after the Governor's declaration, which names Jackson County; Marianna, Graceville, and Sneads bar living in an RV in their own codes, and Sneads will cut water to an RV hooked up for living, so check with the city or town first. Each rule is linked to its official source below.
Housing a crew? No code we found in Jackson County lets a crew live in RVs on a job site; Marianna's only security exception is for a manufactured home used as a construction office. Crew rules and housing

Go back into an evacuated area, and plan a delivery there, only when local officials say it is safe, and follow road closures. For Jackson County, official updates come from the Jackson County Emergency Management and Florida Division of Emergency Management.

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 Jackson County, FL in detail.
Jackson County is named in Florida's Isaias state of emergency, so the state shelter law below applies. Graceville's land use code is posted as a scan; the city has the official copy.
Florida law says that after the Governor declares a state of emergency for a natural emergency, a county (section 125.023) or a city (section 166.0335) may not prohibit one temporary shelter, which includes a recreational vehicle or trailer, on the residential property of a home that was damaged and made uninhabitable. That protection runs for up to 36 months after the declaration or until a certificate of occupancy is issued for the home, whichever comes first, and only while three things are true: the resident is making a good-faith effort to rebuild or renovate, such as applying for a building permit; the shelter is connected to water and electric utilities and is not a threat to health and safety; and the resident lives in it. Local permits for the hookups still apply.

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 Florida 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 Jackson 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 Marianna, Graceville, Sneads, and unincorporated Jackson 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.
Ask the city, town, or Jackson County Planning Division before delivery, with the address and how long the crew expects to stay. 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 Jackson County comes from the utilities below. Each posts its own outage and storm updates.
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.
Answer a few questions in the request form and a rep calls you back with a written quote, or call (214) 493-1515.

Marianna's code bars living in an RV and fixed utility hookups to one, but after the Governor's declaration, which names Jackson County, Florida law keeps the city from barring one temporary shelter on the lot of a home made uninhabitable, for up to 36 months, while you rebuild in good faith, live in it, and keep it connected to water and power. Ask the Municipal Development Department at 850-482-2786.
Sneads bans occupying an RV anywhere in town and will cut water service to an RV hooked up for occupancy. Florida's shelter law protects a utility-connected shelter on a damaged home's lot after the Governor's declaration, which conflicts with the town code on its face, so call the town at 850-593-6636 before delivery.
Graceville's land use code says travel trailers in residential districts may not be used for living, and Florida's shelter law also applies, so call City Hall at 850-263-3250. In unincorporated Jackson County, an owner building a new home may live in an RV for up to 18 months with development orders and permits; ask the Planning Division at 850-482-9637.
No code we found allows it. Marianna bars living in an RV and allows a manufactured home office on a construction site, occupied only when the Director finds it necessary for security. Sneads bans RV occupancy town-wide, and Jackson County limits RV dwellings to RV parks except for an owner building a new home.
We deliver, set up, and service trailers nationwide, and have since 2004. Put the Jackson County address in the request form and we confirm the site with you on the call. Plan a delivery only once local officials, including Jackson 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.
