No. Manufactured (also known as “mobile”) homes are built to Housing and Urban Development (HUD) building codes, while modular homes are built to the same codes (i.e. state, county, local) as site built homes. Modular homes are generally not subject to building or zoning restrictions, as manufactured homes may be. Also, modular homes are permanent structures, while manufactured homes are often required to maintain the ability to be moved from their current location at any time.
