House Engrossed

Overview

Modifies the definition of factory-built building in relation to the Office of Manufactured Housing (OMH).

History

OMH maintains and enforces standards for the installation, safety and quality of manufactured homes, factory-built buildings, mobile homes and accessory structures. The OMH must conduct the office consistently with minimum standards of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and is designated as the "state inspector" for manufactured homes and related industries (A.R.S. § 41-4002).

Current law outlines the powers and duties of the Board of Manufactured Housing which include adopting rules relating to: 1) the minimum construction requirements for factory-built buildings; 2) inspections by the Arizona Department of Housing (ADH) relating to the installation of manufactured homes, mobile homes, factory-built buildings and accessory structures; and 3) compliance with HUD's procedural and enforcement regulations and contract creation necessary to administer federal manufactured home regulations (A.R.S. § 41-4010).

Each licensee who intends to accomplish construction must submit detailed plans to ADH, prior to the installation of a factory-built building, for each project for approval. Additionally, the OMH must inspect the factory-built building (A.R.S. § 41-4005).

A factory-built building is a residential or commercial building that is: 1) either wholly or in substantial part manufactured using closed construction at an off-site location and transported for installation or completion on-site; 2) constructed in compliance with adopted codes, standards and procedures; 3) installed temporarily or permanently (A.R.S. § 41-4001).
