No manufactured home may be parked more than three days without a usable fire extinguisher in the manufactured home. Subd. 2.State speed limit. Except as provided in subdivision 2a, it shall be unlawful for any type vehicle to travel at a rate in excess of ten miles per hour while within the limits of a manufactured home park or recreational camping area.

Subd. 2a.Local speed limit. A municipality may, by ordinance, set and enforce in a manufactured home park a speed limit which is higher than ten miles per hour but which is not higher than 30 miles per hour. The local speed limit shall be clearly posted throughout the manufactured home park. Subd. 3. [Repealed, 1969 c 427 s 22] Subd. 4.Certain practices prohibited.

No pets or domesticated animals shall be allowed to enter the buildings containing the sanitary or washing facilities for the manufactured home park.
Minnesota Statutes § 327.27 establishes several safety and conduct rules for manufactured home parks. Each manufactured home must be equipped with a fire marshal–approved fire extinguisher kept in working order, and no home may be parked for more than three days without one. Vehicles within a manufactured home park or recreational camping area are generally limited to ten miles per hour, though a municipality may set a higher local limit up to 30 mph by ordinance, provided it is clearly posted. The provision also prohibits messy activities like animal or car washing outside of designated areas, and bars pets from entering shared sanitary or washing facilities.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of manufactured home parks subject to Minn. Stat. § 327.27 generally ensure that each home on the property is equipped with a fire marshal–approved extinguisher in constant working condition, and that no home sits parked for more than three days without one. Compliant park managers post the applicable speed limit—whether the default ten miles per hour or a locally adopted limit up to 30 mph—clearly throughout the park, and designate specific areas for activities like car washing or animal washing. Managers also maintain and enforce rules keeping pets out of shared sanitary and washing facilities, consistent with the prohibited practices outlined in Subdivision 4.

Residents of manufactured home parks in Minnesota have certain baseline protections and responsibilities under Minn. Stat. § 327.27, including the right to occupy a home that is equipped with a fire marshal–approved fire extinguisher in usable condition. If speed limits are not posted or shared facilities are not being maintained in accordance with Subdivisions 2 and 4, tenants may raise these concerns with local municipal authorities, who are empowered to enforce the speed limit provisions. Tenants who believe park conditions fall short of the standards set by § 327.27 may also consider reaching out to a local tenant-rights organization or the Minnesota Department of Health, which oversees manufactured home park licensing, for guidance on available options.
