| Q: |
What is the
difference between a Manufactured Home, a Mobile Home and a Modular
Home? |
| A: |
California
law distinguishes between these homes by the building codes
to which they must
comply. Manufactured Homes are built
in a factory and must comply with the National Manufactured
Home Construction and Safety Standards, a uniform code administered
and enforced by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development
(HUD). Mobile Homes were constructed to comply
with standards enforced by California State prior to June 15,
1976, when the HUD Code became effective. Although there are
still mobile homes in the existing housing stock, they have
not been constructed since this date. Modular Homes are
constructed to comply with the California Uniform Building
Code. |
