What is wind zone?

A wind zone is a designation used to classify geographical areas based on their susceptibility to high winds and storms. Different wind zones have specific building codes and regulations to ensure structures can withstand wind loads appropriate to the zone's risk level. This helps in designing and constructing buildings that are resistant to wind damage.

Can a Zone 3 built manufactured home be sold in a Zone 4 area?

Each manufactured home must be designed according to the federal Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standards at 24 CFR 3280, commonly called the HUD Code. The HUD Code stipulates, at §3280.305(c)(1) and §3280.305(c)(2), that the home shall be designed and constructed to conform to one of three wind load zones. The appropriate wind zone used in design is dependent on where the home will be initially installed. Homes designed and constructed to a higher Wind Zone can be installed in a lower Wind Zone (a Wind Zone III home can be installed in a Wind Zone I or II location). However, a Wind Zone I home cannot be installed in either a Wind Zone II or III area. This is from the Manufactured Housing Institute Website.
