Definition
Manufactured homes are factory built homes that are then transported to their future site. Since 1968, all factory built homes that meet HUD standards are properly called “manufactured homes.” Vermont law does not distinguish between the terms “manufactured home” and “mobile home”.
According to HUD standards, “A manufactured home is defined as a movable dwelling, 8 feet or more wide and 40 feet or more long, designed to be towed on its own chassis, with transportation gear integral to the unit when it leaves the factory, and without need of a permanent foundation. These manufactured homes include multi-wides and expandable manufactured homes. Excluded are travel trailers, motor homes, and modular housing.”
