Which category does the 'Owner/Purchaser Exemption' fall under?

The 'Owner/Purchaser Exemption' pertains to situations where individuals who own or are purchasing manufactured housing are exempt from certain licensing requirements typically applicable to dealers or brokers in the manufactured housing industry. This exemption recognizes that these individuals are not engaging in the commercial sale or lease of manufactured homes but rather are acquiring homes for personal use.

This falls under usage exemptions as it directly relates to the intended use of the manufactured housing. Individuals who meet the criteria under this exemption are not acting as a business but rather engaging in personal transactions related to their own housing needs. This helps differentiate personal residential use from commercial engagements that would require a license.

In contrast, other categories such as financial, operational, or installation exemptions address different aspects or contexts, focusing on financial aspects, operational compliance, or the physical installation of homes, respectively. Hence, the categorization of the 'Owner/Purchaser Exemption' as a usage exemption is aligned with its focus on personal ownership and usage rather than commercial activities.
