If your <br />community now requires basements for stick built single - family homes, the <br />requirement would also apply to manufactured homes. If your community permits <br />slab construction for stick built homes, it must also permit manufactured homes <br />to be placed on slabs. <br />For further information on manufactured homes, including slide shows for city <br />councils and planning commissions, contact: <br />Joan M.
