Current through Vol. 42, No. 7, December 16, 2024

Section 765:37-7-1 - [Effective 8/25/2023 through 9/14/2023] Acceptable procedure

(a) Any new manufactured home stored at any location or in the possession of any entity (retailer, installer, distributor or manufacturer) for more than thirty (30) days must be supported in accordance with the manufacturer's installation instructions.

(b) All new manufactured homes to be installed in the State of Oklahoma shall be installed, including site preparation, according to HUD's Manufactured Home Model Installation Standards ( 24 CFR Part 3285) or DAPIA approved manufacturer installation instructions.

(c) Any previously occupied manufactured home to be installed in the state of Oklahoma may be installed according to the installation standards set forth in the manufacturer's installation manual or according to the installation standards set forth hereinafter (generic set) or an approved plan by a professional engineer or registered architect.

(d) Use of an installer not licensed at the time of the installation by the Oklahoma Used Motor Vehicle, Dismantler, and Manufactured Housing Commission for the installation of any new or previously occupied manufactured home shall be deemed an unacceptable procedure and shall subject any dealer contracting with said unlicensed installer to any liabilities and penalties attributable to such unlicensed activity.

(e) In determining the applicable frost line for permanently installed manufactured homes, the installer shall refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions, or the local authority having jurisdiction (LAHJ).

(f) In determining the applicable frost line for permanently installed manufactured homes, the installer shall use the ANSI 225.1 map. A frost line of three inches (3") is presumed in McCurtain County. A frost line of three to six inches (3-6") is presumed in Bryan, Choctaw, Atoka, Pushmataha, Latimer, LeFlore, Haskell and Sequoyah Counties. A frost line of ten to fifteen inches (10-15") is presumed in Woods, Major, Garfield, Alfalfa and Grant Counties. A frost line of six to ten inches (6-10") is presumed in all the remaining counties of the state. An installer may rely on verifiable local standards in determining the frost line in any specific location. When the frost line depth is not available from the local authority having jurisdiction, a registered professional engineer, registered architect or registered geologist must be consulted to determine the required frost line depth.
