Vermont passes two factory-built housing bills; H.757 signed into law
Vermont lawmakers advanced two factory-built housing bills, H.757 and a rural finance measure, aiming to keep manufactured homes affordable.
Key facts
- H.757 passed the House in March and the Senate in May. Gov. Phil Scott signed it on June 17, 2026.
- H.757 would broaden manufactured homeowner protections, raise the sales tax exemption for mobile and modular homes, and give limited-equity co-ops a first right of repurchase.
- A merged rural housing finance and production bill passed the House and went to Gov. Phil Scott after a pilot backed by roughly $12 million in State Treasurer credit facilities was dropped.
- Since 2004, a Vermont anti-exclusion law has kept municipal zoning bylaws from excluding manufactured homes.
