Section 535-X-13-.04 - Site Preparation
(1) The site shall have a grade that will provide water to drainage away from the home site. The site shall be properly crowned and sloped so that water will not stand under the home or run under the home. This will not be necessary if the existing site will not allow water to stand under the home or run under the home.
(2) The party to pay the cost of and do the site preparation work shall be determined by a written contractual agreement between the retailer and the landowner/homeowner, or the installer and the landowner/ homeowner, except when the site is located within a park.
(3) The responsibility to ensure that site preparation is done properly will be a shared responsibility of both the retailer and the installer of manufactured homes sold by the retailer except when the site is located within a park; then the park owner shall be responsible. The installer must notify the park owner of his/her responsibility.
(4) The retailer and/or installer must provide a signed copy of the Site Preparation: Information and Requirements form from the Alabama Manufactured Housing Commission (AMHC) to the homeowner and the AMHC along with the Property Locator, and retain the original in its customer file.
(5) Site preparation for all secondary sitings not involving a retailer and not installed in a park shall be the responsibility of the installer.
(6) After corrections have been made as described in the initial Set-up Inspection Report and confirmed by the Inspector, the Commission shall consider site preparation to be correct.
(7) A retailer, installer, or park owner may request a pre-delivery site inspection from the Commission to determine the suitability of the site. A written site inspection report shall be provided. The Commission may charge a fee for this service.
