Mobile Home Park Processing

A mobile home, which is also referred to as a manufactured home, is a trailer that is parked in a specific area and is used as living quarters. The area that houses the mobile home is considered to be a mobile home park. An advantage of having a mobile home and moving to a park, are the lower costs and the ability to relocate easily. A Mobile Home Pad is a lot that the mobile home rests. This document guides the user through how to process mobile home parks.
