Ordinance Changed, County now Welcomes HUD Code since 1976

arizona mfg home  trulia ceditFollowing a story MHProNews last posted Dec. 14, 2015 regarding a proposed ordinance in Mohave County, Arizona that would restrict siting of manufactured homes to be no more than seven years old, the planning and zoning commission (P&Z) amended the ordinance to accept MH built after 1976, according to mojavedailynews. The original intent of the ordinance was to prevent MH from being “dumped” in the county—sited and left to dilapidate.

In Nov. 2015 the county supervisors amended the ordinance to restrict MH to no older than seven years, but so many residents of MH, especially from Golden Valley, complained that not every one could afford a newer home. Others argued that under the previous ordinance, having an older home would make it valueless, which would reduce property values and taxes, and make it impossible to sell in its current spot.

While other alternatives were offered, the commissioners voted to allow homes built after June 15, 1976 when the federal government imposed stringent standards on MH construction. The homes must have the proper HUD label before being located in an unincorporated area of the county, and within 90 days of installation must have skirting.

While Commissioner Krystal Gabrielson opposed requiring homes to be compatible with the neighborhood, Commissioner Bill Abbott said resources need to be added to code enforcement to prevent homes from being dumped. ##
