Melonie Roberts of the Monett Times informs MHProNews of another incident of a troubling trend where local jurisdictions are attempting – perhaps out of ignorance – to regulate manufactured homes in a fashion apparently contrary to federal preemption. Pierce City, MO “Aldermen also approved an ordinance governing the age of mobile homes that can be brought into mobile home parks within the city. As building inspector, Abramovitz must verify each unit coming into Pierce City is no more than 10 years of age and in good condition.” stated Roberts.
As informed MHProNews readers know, the Manufactured Housing Improvement Act of 2000 provided for enhanced preemption over state or local officials with regards to manufactured housing. A copy of the MHIA 2000 is found here. A proper understanding of the terminlogy is found at this link here. ##
