In most rural and many residential zones across Shasta and Tehama County — yes. We confirm zoning, setbacks, fire access, and parcel buildability for your specific APN before you commit to anything. If your land has an issue, we'll tell you honestly.

A 433A is the legal recording that converts a manufactured home from personal property into real property by permanently affixing it to a foundation. Once recorded, the home appreciates with the land, qualifies for traditional mortgages, and is treated like any other house.

From contract to move-in is typically 4–9 months depending on county permit timelines, septic, well, foundation, and home build schedule. We give you a realistic, line-item timeline up front — no surprises.
