Plan highlights housing mix, manufactured‑home tax effects and need for affordable, infill housing
Summary
The plan reports a housing stock with 55% single‑family units and 17% manufactured/mobile homes, notes manufactured homes' tax treatment reduces property tax contributions to local revenue, and prioritizes infill and affordable housing in the work program.
The Comprehensive Plan describes Chattahoochee County’s housing stock as dominated by single‑family homes and a high proportion of manufactured/mobile homes (17% of county housing stock in 2023). The plan calls out the effect of Georgia’s tax treatment of manufactured homes — taxed as personal property — which reduces property tax revenue and affects the local tax base.
The plan recommends promoting infill development, applying for DCA housing programs, addressing dilapidated housing, and pursuing funding for elder home facilities. The Community Work Program includes items to link DCA housing program information to the county website, identify vacant residential lots to promote infill, and allocate funding to address dilapidated housing.
