Zoning Changes For Mobile Home Parks

[Wendy Vaidic]

Hello.  I recently was looking into a mobile home park that  I was considering purchasing.  During my investigation, I learned that the zoning had changed and you are no longer allowed to bring in new homes, even if the old ones were destroyed.  

My concern is, can any city where I purchase a mobile home park randomly decide to change the zoning so the mobile home park is non-conforming and no units can be brought in?  

If that's the case, if one big hurricane hits a park like that all I'd be left with is a vacant piece of land.  

Does anyone have any experience with this?

Thanks!

if this is the case, then I wouldn’t buy it. Being able to bring in homes to fill vacant lots is critical.
