In Georgia some counties are not allowing placement if the home is 10 years old regardless of the condition of the home. The value of the homes are being affected by the actions of the county officals not by the condition of the home. People are being forced to rent or to only do business within their county as to selection of their new home in order to be able to trade their present home in. I would think people would have some protection under federal law as to free trade across county lines and to keeping the value of there property from being siezed or destroyed by county officals who do not like the form of affordable housing they have chosen

Age of the home can be set by the owner of the property that the home will be placed.

Any local government has the authority to set zoning or building regulations, for either safety or other reasons. It is not in conflict with the fact that federal law sets minimum standards. The simple reality is that the federal government deals with the entire country, but the lessor standard does not override county authority.
Irritating that you can't buy housing from another place, based on better prices... but there is nothing illegal, or contrary to federal law. Being low income myself, I can understand that it would be frustrating. But I also realize that building standards are set for valid reasons, not just to limit who I can buy from.
