It’s important to know there are many places that you cannot put a manufactured home due to zoning. It’s best to call your local county or permits office and ask them if your land is zoned for manufactured homes. If it’s not, you can ask how you can have it rezoned, but in some cases rezoning may not be allowed.

You may also look into mobile home communities that are already zoned for mobile homes and generally have utilities already available at each site. A Google search will show you where those communities are. Be sure to read the reviews and go visit before deciding on one, just like you would an apartment complex or neighborhood of brick houses.
