Research notes
24 V.S.A. § 4412(1)(B) bars municipal bylaw exclusion of mobile/manufactured homes and mobile home parks; 10 V.S.A. Chapter 153 layers park-protection on top — § 6236 governs lot-rent, resident protections, and park-closure process; § 6242 grants right of first refusal for resident cooperatives on park sale. For VT cities, every zoning record should confirm (a) manufactured housing is not zoned out of any residential district as-of-right, and (b) existing mobile home parks are flagged as protected uses.
