I am confused about what constitutes a foundation. My home was installed in 1992 on a foundation with a permit and the building inspector signed it off. Why does it not meet the FHA regulations?

FHA/HUD regulations require that the home be compliant with current guideline for hold-downs, tie-downs, and attachment. In many cases these requirements are more stringent than the local codes. It is common for a home to pass a local city, county or state code but not make the grade for FHA regulations.
