A modest win for Colorado’s manufactured homebuyers
On Thursday, May 24, Gov. John Hickenlooper signed into law House Bill 1315, a measure that exempts the purchase of a new manufactured home from the state sales tax.
Developed by CCLP, this policy will save nearly 1,000 low-and moderate-income homebuyers a year about $1,000 on the purchase of a new manufactured home, beginning July 2019. While the legislation isn’t the silver bullet to Colorado’s affordable housing shortage, it represents a good first step in bringing manufactured housing into the larger discussion on affordable housing.
