What is a manufactured home?
Manufactured homes are built in factories, transported to a site location and installed. HUD Code federally regulates manufactured homes. HUD Code provides the design and construction requirements for the complete production of the entire home in the factory. Some modifications are allowed on-site for setup.
A manufactured home is a structure designed to be moved to a site for single-family use. Manufactured homes are designed for use with or without permanent foundations. The Zoning Ordinance defines manufactured homes in Section 19-301. The term “manufactured home” and “mobile home” are often used interchangeably.
A manufactured home (also known as a factory-built home) is a home constructed in a factory, transported to a site, then installed. These homes are built in a controlled environment, under a federal building code administered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). It is becoming increasingly difficult to determine the difference from a manufactured home and a site-built home. They often feature the same appearances, such as roofs having the same height and pitch, exterior treatments, and add-ons. Due to sophisticated production processes, manufactured homes offer the best in efficiency, affordability, and innovative design options.
Manufactured homes are built in factories, rather than on site. The manufactured home is then delivered and set up on your property. Manufactured homes are less expensive per square foot than site-built homes and are typically more cost-effective to builders and consumers. Manufactured homes can be constructed in a fraction of the time it takes to build a home “on-site” and they’re built to higher standards as well. There are different forms of manufactured homes such as single section, double sections, and triple sections. Single section homes are sixteen feet or less in width and can be transported to their site as a single unit. Double section homes are twenty feet wide or more and are transported to their site in two separate units, which are then joined together on site. Triple section homes are transported in three units and then joined together on site. Four section homes are called Quads.

Manufactured Homes are built entirely in a factory under the federal building code administered by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). These homes are constructed to meet the Federal Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standard Act of June 15, 1976. The federal standards require manufactured housing design and construction, strength and durability, transportability, fire resistance, energy efficiency and quality. The HUD Code sets performance standards for the heating, plumbing, air conditioning, thermal and electrical systems. HUD is the only federally-registered national building code. Each home or segment of a home is labeled with a red tag that is the manufacturer’s guarantee the home was built to conform to the HUD code. On-site additions, such as garages, decks and porches, often add to the attractiveness of manufactured home and must be built to local, state or regional building codes. Manufactured homes generally come in single or two section units and
