Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

7 provisions identified: 3 benefits, 1 costs, 3 mixed.

Limited payouts from state account

If you win a final court judgment against a licensee and are unpaid, you can ask the court for money from the Account. You must serve the Administrator within 30 days after you start the case and file your petition within 1 year after all proceedings end. The Account pays only actual unpaid damages, up to $25,000 per judgment. Total payments for claims against the same licensee cannot exceed $100,000.

Rent help for manufactured homeowners

Low‑income owners of manufactured homes in for‑profit parks can get monthly rent help from the state Account. You must be the registered owner, usually have lived in the same park for 1 year, and meet income and asset limits. The asset cap is $12,000, not counting your home, its contents, and one car. If you moved because you could not pay rent or your old park closed, the 1‑year same‑park rule does not apply. A travel trailer on a manufactured home lot counts as a manufactured home for this help. The Administrator can waive rules for illness, disability, or extreme hardship.

Easier access to Nevada public records

Government records are open during office hours for anyone to inspect and copy. Agencies must provide nonconfidential parts even if some parts are secret, and cannot deny a request just because a record is copyrighted. On request, records must be provided electronically when possible, and staff must prepare the copy in the format you ask for. These changes start July 1, 2025.

Tenant rights and lot upkeep rules

Landlords must give tenants written contact info, including owner details, email, and a service‑of‑process address. In parks with 75 or more lots, a manager must be on‑site at least 8 hours a week and post those hours. A landlord can require you to control weeds after a 30‑day written notice. If you do not, the landlord may do the work and charge the actual cost. Landlords must trim park trees and must follow notice and title‑search steps before dismantling abandoned homes.

New fees and stricter rules for dealers

The law brings manufactured buildings, commercial coaches, and factory‑built housing under these rules and clarifies what counts as a mobile home. It sets plan approval and factory inspections for commercial coaches and allows electronic licenses, titles, certificates, and labels. Dealers, distributors, and manufacturers pay $1,000 for a new license and $600 to renew; salespeople $75, servicepersons $150, and managing employees $100. Dealers face strict no‑commingling rules, sale‑report deadlines, audits for cause, and civil fines up to $1,000 per violation (up to $1,000,000 in a year). Park buyers must file a transfer report within 10 business days, and complaints must be filed within 2 years; investigations stay confidential, while charges and discipline orders are public. Agencies may start rulemaking now; most changes apply July 1, 2025. One older statute is repealed.

Smoke detectors required in homes

Mobile homes and commercial coaches sold or used as homes in Nevada must have smoke detectors that meet State Fire Marshal standards. Manufactured homes must meet federal smoke‑detector standards. If the unit was not built for interconnected alarms, you do not have to add interconnectivity.

Trip permits to move your home

To move a manufactured or mobile unit on Nevada roads, you must get a trip permit from the county assessor. Each permit costs $5 and is good for up to five working days. You must show proof of ownership and proof that full‑year property and use taxes are paid.
