Current through Vol. 41, No. 20, July 1, 2024
(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.

1 This emergency action expired
					 before being superseded by a permanent action. Upon expiration of an emergency
					 amendatory action, the last prior permanent text is reinstated. Therefore, on
					 7-15-10 (after the 7-14-10 expiration of the emergency action), the text of
					 section 765:37-7-1 reverted back to the permanent text that became effective
					 6-25-01, as was last published in the 2006 Edition of the OAC, and remained as
					 such until amended again by permanent action on
					 7-25-10.
