How are manufactured homes sold to governmental agencies treated in terms of registration?

When manufactured homes are sold to governmental agencies, they require registration but are exempt from fees. This means that while these homes must still be officially registered to maintain a record of ownership and for compliance with regulations, the typical fees associated with registration do not apply in these cases.

Governments often utilize manufactured homes for various purposes such as housing for employees or transitional housing for individuals, so the exemption from fees can encourage their use. The registration process ensures that even if the government entity is acquiring the home, the home is still tracked and regulated properly within the system, ensuring accountability and adherence to any necessary safety or zoning standards.

This understanding highlights the balance between proper oversight through registration and support for government initiatives aimed at providing housing solutions without additional financial barriers typically faced by private buyers.
