According to realestaterama, U. S. Senators Joe Donnelly (D-IN) and Dan Coats (R-IN) support HUD’s proposed rule that would more clearly separate the line between MHs and RVs. Noting HUD’s RV regulations go back to 1982, Sen. Coats said, “Since that time, the industry has made dramatic improvements to its vehicles. An update to these regulations has been long overdue, and HUD has taken a positive step forward by proposing a new rule. I will continue to work on behalf of Indiana’s vibrant RV industry to ensure regulations reflect the dynamic nature of the field.”
The two senators have been working on a bipartisan basis since 2014 in an attempt to urge HUD to update the definition. Ron Breymier, Executive Director for the Indiana Manufactured Housing Association – RV Indiana Council (IMHA-RVIC) said, “Our Indiana Association is very pleased with HUD’s proposed rule clarifying the distinction between park model RVs and manufactured homes. Although national in scope, in Indiana the clarification will be helpful to county officials in guiding them on the proper assessment and taxation of these two distinct and important products.” ##
