H0800 Clarifies Definition and Siting of Multi-family Manufactured Homes

SUPPORT - The bill increases housing affordability by allowing single section manufactured homes to be placed on lots zoned for single family homes and multi-sectional manufactured homes to be placed on lots zoned for multifamily homes.

This law, effective July 1, 2026, expands where manufactured homes can be placed. It allows manufactured duplexes to be treated as multifamily homes in zoning ordinances.  Single section manufactured homes that are at least 400 square feet may be placed on lots zoned for single family homes and multi-sectional manufactured homes that are at least 800 square feet may be placed on lots zoned for multifamily homes.

We support these options toward improving housing affordability, primarily by expanding lower-cost housing options and increasing supply.

The legislation was signed into law on March 26, 2026.
