The First place is go to the county and get all the spec’s they have on building a MHP.
next a good book is development, marketing and operation of manufactured home comunities. By George Allen from pmn publishing 1-317-888-7156
next go to your state mh assoc. and get all the info and contacts they have after these three sources you should have enough info to build a community
Hope this helps

Mobile Home Community - Posted by M Shumate

I would like to create a Mobile Home Community in my area. I have researched the need for another one and have found that a clean, well kept, community would be an asset to my area. I live in a rural area with small towns all around. I need help in how to start and complete this process. If you have any suggestions as to financing, were to start, books on the subject, processes, and regulation sources I would appreciate hearing from you

the very FIRST thing I would do is find out all regulations concerning the mobile homes; size, type, age, sq ft, how much land is required per home/site, etc. go to the city/county and ask for a copy of all regulations. At this point I would NOT tell them what is being considered.
Do you have access to city/county water/sewer?
if not, #2 ask the sanitarian how much land is required for each site while using a central well system. how many sites are allowed per well/per acre?
#3 land cost per acre?
#4 utility cost per site? underground power, septic, water, ammenities, etc.
When you have this info, drop another post.
