Generally, lot size is regulated at the local (e.g. municipal or county) level, not the state level, and a brief search reveals no OH state laws regarding required acreage. If there is any such acreage minimum, it would most likely be found in local ordinances: the best thing to do is to go to the town/city building or housing department and ask them: they can tell you if there is a minimum (and what it is) in their own ordinances, or if there is some other law or regulation (e.g. at the county level), they could direct you to it. You might also try contacting your state's department of commerce, which regulates manufactured homes; here is a link: https://www.com.ohio.gov/MHInstallationGuide.aspx
