Section 15C-2.005 - Red Tagging of New Mobile/Manufactured Homes(1) Units being offered for sale by a manufacturer or dealer not currently licensed to do business in the State may be red tagged. All units not complying with the appropriate codes as defined in Section 320.822(2), F.S., or not having an appropriate seal or label shall be red tagged. Units which have been red tagged or have had a notice of violation written listing deviations, code problems, etc., shall not be sold or offered for sale until corrections have been made and reinspection completed by a Florida Mobile Home and Recreational Vehicle Inspector. A unit cited with a notice of violation or red tag can only be released by a Florida Mobile Home and Recreational Vehicle Inspector.(2) All units with deviations, code problems, etc., written up on a notice of violation or red tagged shall not be removed from the manufacturer's premises, dealer lot location, storage lot or location where unit is tagged or notice of violation written, without prior approval from the Division of Motorist Services (Bureau of Mobile Home and Recreational Vehicle Construction). The criterion for division approval shall be that all deviations which were the basis for the notice of violation or red tag have been removed. This department must be given a minimum of three (3) days notice when the deviations have been corrected so that reinspection of these units can be scheduled.(3) New duplex mobile homes found with deviations during plant or dealer lot inspections will not have a validation sticker affixed. In the event a unit is found with a validated seal and deviations, the validation sticker shall be invalid. These units will be red tagged with notice of violations written and shall not be sold or offered for sale until deviations have been corrected. UNITS WITH UNVALIDATED SEALS SHALL NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD OR MOVED FROM THE PREMISES.Fla. Admin. Code Ann. R. 15C-2.005
