Manufactured Housing Practice Test

Which statement is true regarding manufactured/mobile homes sold to governmental agencies?

1. They are not required to be registered

2. They are required to be registered but exempt from fees

3. They must be registered but fees collected at sale

4. They are required to be registered except for federal sales

The correct answer is: They are required to be registered but exempt from fees

The correct statement regarding manufactured/mobile homes sold to governmental agencies is that they are required to be registered but are exempt from fees. This means that while there is a necessity to have these homes registered in order to maintain proper regulatory oversight and to track ownership, governmental agencies are granted an exemption from having to pay the registration fees typically associated with this process. The registration is an important step to ensure that these homes are documented within official records, which can help track their movement, ownership, and compliance with housing standards. However, because governmental entities often operate under different financial provisions and considerations, they are not subjected to the same fees as private individuals or businesses when it comes to the registration of manufactured or mobile homes. This distinction supports the broader framework of government operations and funding, allowing public agencies to allocate resources more efficiently. Other options suggest either no registration required or a fee structure that does not correctly align with the exemptions provided to governmental agencies, which is not consistent with the procedural requirements in place for handling manufactured housing transactions involving such entities.
