Plan flags manufactured homes, vacancy shifts and affordability as housing priorities
Summary
Chattahoochee County's Comprehensive Plan notes a housing stock with high share of manufactured homes (17% in 2023), declining occupied rental units and recommendations to promote infill, apply for DCA housing programs and pursue funding for dilapidated housing remediation.
The plan documents housing stock and tenure changes across the county and the Non-Fort Benning Area. In 2023 the plan reports total housing units countywide at 2,902 and notes that mobile/manufactured homes accounted for about 17% of all units. The plan highlights the fiscal effect of taxing manufactured homes as personal property rather than real property, describing that practice as a drag on the local property-tax base because those units contribute less in property tax revenue.
Housing objectives include promoting affordable rental and starter homes, applying for Georgia DCA housing programs, cleaning up dilapidated housing and identifying vacant lots for infill. The work program lists specific budget items and grant targets for addressing dilapidated housing and pursuing housing-related infrastructure (water, sewer, drainage) to enable development.
