Renewals
All Manufactured Housing Division licenses are due for renewal annually during its anniversary month. A renewal notice will be sent to each current licensee at least 30 days prior to the expiration date of the license. The licensee is responsible to renew on time and inform the division with any changes to their address. All renewal notices will be mailed to the last known address on file with the division. Failure to receive the renewal notice shall not relieve the licensee of the responsibility of renewing his license before the expiration date. The division shall allow a 30-day grace period after a license has expired for a licensee to renew without penalty. After the 30-day grace period the licensee must pay a late renewal fee equal to one dollar ($1.00) for each day, up to thirty days, that has elapsed since the 30-day grace period and thereafter for a fee equal to twice the amount of the annual license fee. If a license is expired for one-year following the expiration date the license shall be cancelled and the licensee must re-apply for licensure, which includes taking.
