Las Vegas Manufactured Home HUD Compliance Certifications
Manufactured homes are common across the Las Vegas Valley, but many buyers and sellers don’t realize that certain loans require something extra: a HUD Compliance Certification. For FHA, VA, and some conventional loans, lenders must confirm the manufactured home is installed on a HUD-compliant permanent foundation. Without that engineer’s certification, the loan can’t close.
That’s where Ace Inspections can help.
What a HUD Compliance Certification Is
A HUD Compliance Certification is an engineer-stamped report that verifies a manufactured home meets HUD guidelines for a permanent foundation. Lenders sometimes refer to it by other names like:
Engineer foundation certification
Permanent foundation report
FHA or VA foundation letter
Manufactured home foundation inspection
Engineer certification for manufactured housing
Even though the names vary, they all point to one document: a licensed engineer’s approval confirming the foundation meets HUD requirements.
Why These Certifications Matter in the Las Vegas Metro
In the Las Vegas area, manufactured homes are spread across Las Vegas, Henderson, North Las Vegas, Pahrump, and the smaller Clark County communities. Many of these homes were installed years ago, and their foundation records aren’t always available. During a home sale, this often becomes a last-minute hurdle for FHA and VA buyers.
A quick, accurate certification helps keep the transaction on track and gives everyone confidence that the home’s foundation is safe, secure, and loan-ready.
Fast Turnaround in 1 to 3 Days
Real estate transactions move fast here, so delays can create unnecessary stress. Ace Inspections partners with a licensed structural engineer to deliver HUD Compliance Certifications with a 1 to 3 day turnaround, which fits the pace of the Las Vegas market.
Clear, Up-Front Pricing
Pricing is straightforward:
$450 for a Permanent Foundation Certification
$450 for an Addition Certification
$600 for both together
No surprise fees, no complicated add-ons, and Pay at Close or Pay Over Time financing is available for clients who want flexible options.
When You’ll Need One
Most lenders require a certification when:
The buyer is using an FHA or VA loan
The home is being converted to real property
The foundation was modified or hasn’t been previously certified
There are additions like porches or rooms built onto the home
If your lender, realtor, or escrow officer mentions a foundation inspection or engineer letter, this is usually the document they’re referring to.
What the Process Looks Like
The inspection is simple for the homeowner. An inspector documents the home, collects the required photos, reviews visible foundation components, and submits everything to the engineer. The engineer then issues the final HUD-compliant certification.
Most homes only need one visit, and the report is delivered electronically for quick use in the loan file.
