The Demopolis City Council is considering measures to limit mobile homes in the city limits and enforce building codes.
At their Aug. 6 meeting, the city council extended a moratorium on mobile homes in the city limits while they consider an ordinance creating an “overlay,” an area where trailers, mobile homes or manufactured homes will not be allowed. A similar moratorium passed by the city council in February expired on Aug. 5.
Demopolis Mayor Woody Collins said he planned to present the overlay ordinance to the council at their next meeting.
