Section 19-7-5.03.2 - Inspection Findings of Non-Compliance
A. Results of the inspection may be made available to manufacturers, retailers or developers upon request. When serious violations are found on HUD certified units or with the temporary storage of the units, the Factory-Built Home Division of the State Fire Marshal's Office shall immediately attach a non-compliance identification tag to the unit in question.
B. It shall be a violation of these Rules and Regulations for any Factory-Built home to be sold or offered for sale which has a non-compliance identification tag attached. The wording on such tag shall be as follows:

"This unit, having been found to be in NON-COMPLIANCE with the Uniform Standards Code for Factory-Built Homes Law and having been so identified, shall not be sold or offered for sale in the State of Mississippi. Anyone tampering with or removing this Identification Tag from this unit will be prosecuted as set forth in this Act, and shall be subject to revocation of his license."

C. A non-compliance identification tag attached to a unit may be removed only by the Factory-Built Home Division of the State Fire Marshal's Office. Such tag shall be completed as required thereon.
D. When the State Fire Marshal has reasonable grounds to believe that a unit has been constructed in non-compliance with these standards, he may require, at the manufacturers expense that the walls, floors, decking or other panels be removed for the purpose of inspection.
E. Units having been identified as being in non-compliance with these Rules and Regulations and having a non-compliance tag attached may be transported and relocated only after notice has been given to the Factory-Built Home Division of the State Fire Marshal's Office. Such notice will set forth the purpose for moving such unit, to whom the unit is to be delivered along with complete mailing address and telephone number, serial number, HUD label number and any other information as may be requested.
F. When such violation(s) have been corrected, the unit in question shall be re-inspected by the Factory-Built Home Division of the State Fire Marshal's Office and if found in compliance with the National Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standards Act, the Manufactured Housing Improvement Act of 2000 and this Regulation, the inspector shall remove the non-compliance identification tag. The unit can then be sold or offered for sale.
