Western Manufactured Housing Communities Association (WMA) is a
nonprofit organization created in 1945 for the exclusive purpose
of promoting and protecting the interests of owners, operators
and developers of manufactured home communities in California.
Starting May 1, 2025, all parks — regardless of their exemption
status — will be required to pay the Certificate of Compliance or
Exemption Issuance Fee of $350 annually as part of the Park
Manager Training Program.
PLEASE NOTE:This fee is in
addition to any registration fees a third-party provider may
charge for training.
This fee will be assessed at the time a park’s permit to operate
is initially issued or renewed.
WMA is pleased to report that the 2025 WMA Foundation
solicitation has collected $193,000 in contributions to date,
thanks to the tremendous generosity of industry members like you.
This is by far the largest amount the Foundation has ever raised,
making it possible for WMA to contribute $76,500 to those
mobilehome park residents victimized by the Palisades Fire.
Bill Introduction Deadline Arrives – Many Bills Affect
WMA Members
Tomorrow is the deadline for bills to be introduced, and over
1,500 bills are expected to be introduced by the end of Friday.
When the WMA PAC succeeded in the 2024 elections, the makeup of
the Legislature shifted much more to the center. With more
moderate Democrats and more Republicans, WMA’s legislative
priorities have expanded from prior years, putting us on offense
for the first time in recent memory.
