Manufactured Home Tie-Down Standard

It is recommended that Manufactured Homes be installed on an engineered foundation with appropriate tie-downs for the climate zone of the area.  The Department of Housing and Urban Development  (HUD) has set a standard for manufactured housing foundation installations.  This standard is utilized to determine if a manufactured home qualifies for many loan programs, including FHA and VA home loans.

There are two significant requirements:  Permanent Foundations and Tie-Downs
