===Modular homes vs. mobile homes=== Differences include the building codes that govern the construction, types of material used and how they are appraised by banks for lending purposes. Modular homes are built to either local or state building codes as opposed to manufactured homes, which are also built in a factory but are governed by a federal building code.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.drysideproperty.com/mobile%20vs%20manuf%20vs%20modular.html|title=Mobile homes vs Manufactured homes vs Modular homes|last=Solutions|first=Dryside Property β Jennifer Mitchell and Magic Web|website=Drysideproperty.com|access-date=2018-03-09}}</ref> The codes that govern the construction of modular homes are exactly the same codes that govern the construction of site-constructed homes.{{Citation needed|date = September 2013|reason = Requires reliable, third-party, published source (not from a Modular Homes company's website) to allow for verification of statements.}} In the United States, all modular homes are constructed according to the [[International Building Code]] (IBC), IRC, BOCA or the code that has been adopted by the local jurisdiction.{{Citation needed|date = September 2013|reason = Requires reliable, third-party, published source (not from a Modular Homes company's website) to allow for verification of statements.}} In some states, such as California, mobile homes must still be registered yearly, like vehicles or standard trailers, with the Department of Motor Vehicles or other state agency.
