Expanding Manufactured Home Definition: More Housing Options
This act aims to broaden access to manufactured homes by updating their definition. More types of homes will be treated equally to traditional manufactured homes, potentially impacting their availability, financing, and insurance, which could lower costs and increase choices for citizens.
Key points
New Manufactured Home Definition: Homes without a permanent chassis will be treated the same as those with one, potentially increasing their availability.
Equal Treatment: States must ensure that manufactured homes, regardless of chassis, are subject to the same rules for financing, insurance, sales, and taxes.
Support for States: The federal government will provide guidance to help states align their regulations with the new rules.
Consequences for States: States failing to comply may face prohibitions on the manufacture, installation, or sale of certain manufactured homes.
