Research notes
Use-class preemption + parity mandate, applies statewide to all municipal classes (first class, second class, villages, and via the uniform-state-floor rule also to metropolitan-class Omaha and primary-class Lincoln). Read in conjunction with §71-4603 et seq. (state installer/dealer licensing) and federal preemption under 42 U.S.C. §5403 (National Manufactured Housing Construction and Safety Standards Act). A city zoning ordinance banning HUD-code units outright from a residential district is facially unenforceable. Flag any city ordinance that excludes manufactured homes from residential districts.
