The Manufactured Housing Association of Oklahoma (MHAO) tells MHProNews the rules on the installation of new and used MH have been revised. New homes have to follow the plans laid out by the manufacturer or the engineer/architect, and the homeowner is not responsible for site preparation. For used homes, the resident is responsible for site preparation. Temporary installation will only be for a home site pending permanent installation, or for storage of a new home on a dealer’s lot. The UMV&Parts Commission approved the rules, and will issue a standard installation authorization form, an inspection form, and minimum inspection requirements to be used by certified inspectors later this spring. The inspection only covers first-time installation of a manufactured home, and is warranted for only one year.
