Chapter 5. Licensing Requirements
IC 25-23.7-5-1
Licensing requirement; political subdivision's powers; licensing
exemptions
Sec. 1. (a) Except as provided in subsection (b), an individual may
not install a manufactured home without first obtaining from the
board a license authorizing the individual to install a manufactured
home. A political subdivision may not require a licensee to submit to
any other form of licensing except for that required by a political
subdivision for onsite electrical, plumbing, or mechanical systems
installation. However, this article does not limit the power of a
political subdivision to regulate the quality and character of work
performed by a licensee through the enforcement of building codes
or conducting inspections.
(b) An individual acting at all times at the direction and under the
supervision of a licensed installer need not be licensed in order to
install a manufactured home. A licensee is fully responsible for all
installation work performed under the licensee's direction or
supervision.
(c) This section does not prohibit:
(1) a manufactured housing community owner;
(2) a manufactured housing community manager; or
(3) the employees of a person described in subdivision (1) or
(2);
from providing maintenance to an installation if that maintenance
does not otherwise require a license by a political subdivision for
onsite electrical, plumbing, or mechanical systems installation.
