Section 18008 Of Chapter 1. Definitions From California Health And Safety Code >> Division 13. >> Part 2. >> Chapter 1.
18008
. (a) "Mobilehome," for the purposes of this part, means a
structure that was constructed prior to June 15, 1976, is
transportable in one or more sections, is eight body feet or more in
width, or 40 body feet or more in length, in the traveling mode, or,
when erected onsite, is 320 or more square feet, is built on a
permanent chassis and designed to be used as a single-family dwelling
with or without a foundation system when connected to the required
utilities, and includes the plumbing, heating, air conditioning, and
electrical systems contained therein. "Mobilehome" includes any
structure that meets all the requirements of this paragraph and
complies with the state standards for mobilehomes in effect at the
time of construction. "Mobilehome" does not include a commercial
modular, as defined in Section 18001.8, factory-built housing, as
defined in Section 19971, a manufactured home, as defined in Section
18007, a multifamily manufactured home, as defined in Section
18008.7, or a recreational vehicle, as defined in Section 18010.
(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, if a codified
provision of state law uses the term "mobilehome," and it clearly
appears from the context that the term "mobilehome" should apply only
to mobilehomes, as defined under subdivision (a), the codified
provision shall apply only to those mobilehomes. If any codified
provision of state law, by its context, requires that the term
applies to mobilehomes or manufactured homes without regard to the
date of construction, the codified provision shall apply to both
mobilehomes, as defined under subdivision (a), and manufactured
homes, as defined under Section 18007.
