Licensed Real Estate agents should be informed when listing or selling homes built in a factory.The difference between a manufactured home (built to the HUD Code) and a modular home (built to the International Residential Building Code 2006) can be determined by the listing agent. Both homes are built in a factory and delivered to the site and installed. However, each home is built to a different building code; manufactured homes are built to the HUD Code, a federal building code, and the
home has a red HUD Label on the back of each section of the home; a modular home is built to the International Residential Building Code 2006 and has a
State of Alabama Modular Insignia inside the home, usually on the electric panel box. For definitions and more information you may link to the Alabama Manufactured Housing Association’s Web site at
