Serving Bradenton and Manatee County
Bradenton is the county seat of Manatee County, on the south bank of the Manatee River. Manufactured homes are common in parks and neighborhoods from Bradenton and Palmetto to Ellenton, Parrish, Oneco, Cortez and out toward Myakka City.
Manatee County is one of the Florida counties HUD places in Wind Zone III, its highest wind zone, along with neighboring Sarasota and Pinellas. Wind Zone III homes are designed for higher wind loads, and the anchoring has to match. When we re-anchor a mobile home here we follow the manufacturer’s setup requirements and Florida’s tie-down rule, and we check the data plate to confirm the home is rated for the zone.
Manatee County wind zone & storm notes
Manatee County is in HUD Wind Zone III, the highest of HUD’s wind zones, so homes here must be designed for Wind Zone III loads and anchored to match. Hurricane Milton made landfall on Siesta Key in neighboring Sarasota County in October 2024, and the National Hurricane Center reports it caused major damage in the Sarasota and Tampa Bay areas. Coastal Manatee homes also deal with salt air, which speeds up rust on straps and anchor heads.
Wind zones: 24 CFR 3280.305.
A tip for Bradenton homeowners
In Wind Zone III, every connection counts. When we inspect a Manatee County home, we confirm the data plate rating and look at anchors, frame ties, longitudinal ties and centerline ties as a complete system.
