Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
(1) The director of labor and industries is
				responsible for establishing uniform standards and requirements for the
				installation of manufactured homes within the state.
(2) Local jurisdictions may adopt additional
				installation requirements only for those installation situations not covered by
				federal standards. For example, local jurisdictions may impose fire sprinkler
				requirements, noise control construction ordinances, prescribe the frost depth
				and soil bearing capacity at the installation site, and adopt requirements to
				protect manufactured homes in hazardous areas (see WAC
				296-150I-0340) .
Also, local jurisdictions may impose their requirements for
				  snow loads as long as all structures within their jurisdiction are required to
				  comply with the same standard and provided those installing the manufactured
				  home are given options in satisfying that standard. Such an option might
				  include, but not be limited to, allowing an installer to erect an additional
				  structure, which meets local standards, and protects the manufactured home. For
				  example, an installer could erect a freestanding roof structure over a
				  manufactured home to protect it from local snow loads.
Local jurisdictions may not:
(a) Dictate alternate foundation design and
				construction when a foundation is built according to either the manufacturer's
				installation instructions or a design created by an engineer or architect
				licensed in Washington state.
(b)
				Impose regulations on smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors because
				they are regulated by federal standards.

The HUD labels have been removed from my home. I can't

You must contact the Department of Housing and Urban
				  Development (HUD). HUD does not reissue labels for manufactured homes. However,
				  HUD can issue a letter verifying a label for the unit for which it can locate
				  the necessary historical information. The label numbers can be found on a data
				  plate inside the home in one of three locations:
On or near the main electrical panel;
In a kitchen cabinet; or
In a bedroom closet.
The data plate has a map of the United States to let the
				  consumer know the land zone and snow load for which their home was built. You
				  can use the following information to request label verification:
