Section V-519 - Placement of Used Homes

A. In accordance with 24 CFR Ch. XX §3280.305 et seq., used manufactured homes in the secondary market shall be sited effective January 1, 2007 in accordance with federal wind zone standards applicable for new homes in Louisiana zone II and III as set forth in 24 CFR Ch. XX § 3280.305 et seq., and thereafter amended. However, if any manufactured home is sited or is located at a retail outlet within Louisiana wind zone II or III prior to January 1, 2007 and the siting of this home or the location of this home at a retail outlet within wind zone II or III can be definitively documented through such means as an installation permit sticker issued by and/or returned to the commission; a title which uniquely identifies your home and references the physical location of siting; documentation establishing the location of a home at a retail outlet within zone II or III or some other independent means of credible documentation, then such manufactured home will be allowed to transfer indefinitely within the wind zone where it is sited or located at a retail outlet prior to January 1, 2007. Additionally, such manufactured home may also transfer to a less stringent wind zone than the zone where it is sited or located at a retail outlet prior to January 1, 2007; however, a manufactured home may not transfer to a more stringent wind zone than the zone where it is sited or located at a retail outlet as of December 31, 2006, unless the construction of such home complies with appropriate federal and state construction standards. Violations of this provision may result in civil penalties being levied against the appropriate party by the commission.
