What must a dealer do if intending to use a manufactured home for office purposes?

A dealer intending to use a manufactured home for office purposes must register the unit with the Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). This step is necessary to ensure that the manufactured home complies with all local regulations and zoning requirements related to its use as an office. Registration formally documents the home’s intended use and provides legal recognition.

While other actions may be relevant to the use and installation of a manufactured home, registering with HCD is a crucial step that specifically addresses regulatory compliance for operational purposes, making it essential for dealers who repurpose manufactured homes in this way.
