Types of manufactured homes

According to Georgia State Law, there are two types of mobile homes; manufactured or mobile
A manufactured home is built to the Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standards (HUD Code) and displays a red certification label on the exterior of each transportable section. The HUD Code provides the design and construction requirements for the home, with some modifications permitted for on-site completion. Manufactured homes are built in the controlled environment of a manufacturing plant and are transported in one or more sections on a permanent chassis.

A mobile home is a factory-built dwelling built prior to June 15, 1976, to standards other than the HUD Code, (pre-HUD Code Home) that were acceptable under applicable state codes in effect at the time of construction or introduction of the home into the state.
