A mobile home, or manufactured home, is defined as a structure that is designed and constructed to be transportable in one or more sections. They are built on a permanent chassis and are designed to be used as a dwelling with or without a permanent foundation when connected to the required utilities that include plumbing, heating, and electrical systems contained therein. This definition excludes modular homes, as defined in RCW 46.04.302 and 82.50.010.

Floating homes are also considered real property and are subject to property tax, but are not considered a mobile home. "Floating home" means a building on a float used in whole or in part for human habitation as a single-family dwelling, which is not designed for self propulsion by mechanical means or for propulsion by means of wind, and which is on the property tax rolls of the county in which it is located.
