What Mobilehome Owner and Park Services Does the California HCD Website Cover?

Updated

The California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) website includes a Mobilehome Owner & Park Services section aimed at people who own or live in mobilehomes and at the parks that house them. It is the place to start on hcd.ca.gov if you want HCD information and services related to mobilehome ownership or mobilehome park operations. The site also lists Purchase Regulations under its building-standards pages, which is relevant if you are buying or transferring a mobilehome.

What the section is for

HCD is the state department responsible for housing and community development, and its site groups content by audience and function. "Mobilehome Owner & Park Services" is one of those audience areas, sitting alongside broader sections such as "Clearing the Path for More Housing in California," "Leadership," and "Connecting with HCD." Treat it as the entry point for mobilehome-specific questions rather than as a single form or database.

Topics the section is likely to address

Based on how HCD organizes its work, mobilehome owners and park residents typically look to the department for things like:

  • Park operations and resident protections — how mobilehome parks are regulated and what owners and residents should know about living in or running one.
  • Ownership and transfer questions — including purchase-related regulations, which the site links separately under building standards.
  • Registration and titling — the administrative side of owning a manufactured or mobilehome in California.
  • Dispute and complaint pathways — where to raise concerns about a park or a transaction.
  • Plans and reports — HCD publishes plans and reports that can include mobilehome-related data and policy.

The exact list of services and forms changes, so confirm details on the live page rather than relying on a summary.

Where to start on the site

  1. Go to hcd.ca.gov.
  2. Find the Mobilehome Owner & Park Services heading in the site navigation or on the homepage.
  3. Open that section and read the subpages that match your situation — owner, resident, or park operator.
  4. If your question is about buying or transferring a mobilehome, also check Purchase Regulations under Building Standards.
  5. For data, policy, or program context, browse Plans and Reports.

What to keep in mind

The site is an information and program hub, not a live chat or instant-answer service. Pages describe rules, programs, and contacts; response times and specific eligibility depend on the program. If you need a decision about your own situation — a purchase, a dispute, or a park issue — use the section to find the right office or form, then confirm requirements directly with HCD.
