Definition
Manufactured homes can be sited on privately owned land or in a land-lease community known as a manufactured home park. In these situations, the home is typically owned by the resident, while the land and utilities are owned by a private or non-profit entity.
Under Vermont law, the terms mobile home and manufactured home are used interchangeably.
Vermont law defines a mobile home parks as a piece of land that has more than two mobile homes or mobile home lots, or adjacent lots of land owned by the same owner with a total of two or more mobile homes or lots. There are limited exceptions for seasonal parks and housing for farm workers.
Mobile home park owners are required to register their park(s) with DHCD annually on September 1st and pay a lot fee of $12 per occupied leased lot.
