What information is shown on the data plate of a manufactured home?

The data plate of a manufactured home provides essential information, including details about the design and engineering company that approved the home. This plate is typically located in a specified area of the home and contains important compliance data, such as the manufacturer's name, model number, serial number, and construction details.

This information is crucial for verifying that the home meets safety and construction standards established by the HUD (Housing and Urban Development) regulations. Knowing the design and engineering company can help homeowners and dealers ascertain the quality and compliance of the manufactured home.

The other options do not pertain to the data plate. For instance, personal details of the owner are not relevant to the home’s structure or compliance and are instead private information. Similarly, a floor plan layout is not found on the data plate itself; rather, it is often found in separate documentation provided with the home. Local zoning laws are also not part of the data plate's content, as these laws are jurisdiction-specific regulations that deal with land use and do not relate to the manufactured home's construction compliance.
