Will my home be a "HUD" approved home?

(Frequently Asked Questions)

All Manufactured Homes (mobile homes) produced since the mid '70's are HUD approved - manufactured to federal specifications. At each factory one or more HUD inspectors continuously monitors production. Minor problems are pointed out and fixed on the spot. Larger problems can lead to a home being "red tagged". A red tagged home can not leave the factory without being fixed. In extreme cases, production can be stopped by the inspector.

As a contrast, Modular homes are made to state specifications, and panelized (pre-made wall segments) homes usually follow the local building codes.
