MANUFACTURED HOMES – Amends and adds to existing law to prohibit certain restrictive covenants against manufactured homes and to revise provisions regarding siting of manufactured homes in residential areas.

Idaho's H 647 prohibits restrictive covenants that ban or unreasonably limit manufactured homes in areas zoned for single-family homes, making such covenants void and unenforceable after July 1, 2026. The bill requires local governments to update zoning plans to allow manufactured homes in single-family residential areas and sets appearance standards (e.g., minimum square footage, siding/roofing matching neighborhood style, pitched roofs). It directly affects manufactured home owners, communities with exclusionary covenants, and local governments managing land use. The law does not apply to covenants entered before July 1, 2026, and mandates that manufactured homes meet specific aesthetic and structural standards similar to traditional homes.
