Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
12 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 3 costs, 7 mixed.
More help from Housing Account, with limits
If you sue a licensee, you must serve the Administrator within 30 days of filing. After a final judgment, you have 1 year to ask the court to pay from the Account, up to $25,000 per judgment, with a $100,000 cap per licensee. The Account pays only by court order or an approved compromise. Beginning 2025-07-01, travel trailers on park lots and tenants who moved after rent trouble or a park closure can qualify for help. The Administrator can waive some eligibility rules for illness, disability, or extreme financial hardship with written proof.
No property tax on dealer inventory
Licensed dealers do not pay property tax on manufactured homes and similar units held for sale as inventory. This lowers ongoing tax costs for dealers who hold units for resale.
Higher state license fees for dealers
State fees apply when you get or renew licenses: $1,000 for an original dealer, distributor, or manufacturer license; $600 to renew those; $150 for serviceperson licenses; $100 for a responsible managing employee; and $75 for a salesperson. The State deposits these fees into the Housing Inspection and Compliance Account.
Rules for abandoned or long-empty homes
Starting 2025-07-01, a landlord may require removal of a home left unoccupied for more than 90 days if there is no good‑faith effort to sell it. A home is “abandoned” if no lot rent is paid for 60 days, it is unoccupied, and the manager reasonably believes it is abandoned. Before dismantling an abandoned home, the landlord must search title records, send certified notice to the owner and any lienholder, wait 30 days, then file an affidavit. Landlords must maintain lots with repossessed or abandoned homes like other lots and can seek reimbursement from the repossessor, lienholder, or tax‑sale proceeds. Landlords must also trim park trees and remove trimmings, unless a tenant agrees in writing to handle trees on that lot.
Stronger oversight and penalties for dealers
The Division can audit dealer and distributor financial accounts and must investigate verified complaints filed within 2 years. Complaint files stay confidential, but charging papers and final discipline orders are public. Dealers may not commingle client funds, and anyone taking an advance fee must account for it within 3 months; only licensed dealers, managing employees, or salespersons may take advance fee listings. The same rules now apply to manufactured buildings and factory‑built housing. Travel trailers are no longer covered by most chapter rules, but civil penalties now apply to travel trailer makers and dealers too—up to $1,000 per violation and up to $1,000,000 for related violations in one year; some knowing violations are crimes. Civil penalties go to the Housing Inspection and Compliance Account.
Park owners must post contacts and hours
Your landlord must give you the park owner’s name, address, phone, and email if available, plus who can accept legal papers. The landlord must post office hours in a common area and give them to each tenant; hours must be during regular business hours. In parks with 75 or more lots, a manager or assistant manager must be at the park at least 8 hours each week and post those hours. Starting 2025-07-01, a buyer of a mobile home park must report the transfer to the Housing Division within 10 business days.
Tenants can be billed for lot upkeep
Starting 2025-07-01, a landlord may require you to control weeds and vegetation on your lot after giving 30 days’ written notice. If you do not comply, the landlord may do the work and charge you a fee equal to the landlord’s actual cost. This does not override a different rule in your rental agreement.
Trip permit and tax check to move a home
You must get a $5 trip permit from the county assessor before moving a manufactured home on Nevada roads. Each permit covers up to 5 consecutive working days and must be displayed. You must show proof of ownership and that yearly property or use taxes are paid. Moving without a permit is a misdemeanor and the home can be seized until you comply.
Tighter safety, installation, and vacate rules
The Division can issue stop‑work orders for illegal construction and can order unsafe used units vacated until fixed. Only trained people may issue installation certificates, and buyers of new units must receive the certificate. Homes used as residences must have compliant smoke detectors; no interconnect device is required if the unit was not built for it. Certified units do not have to meet local building codes for listed systems. It is illegal to make, sell, certify, or occupy noncompliant units.
Stronger sales and title rules for homes
Dealers must file sale reports and tax acknowledgments on time: 30 days for new units and 45 days for used, and give copies to buyers and county assessors. The Division does not issue a used-unit title until the assessor confirms that year’s personal property taxes are paid. You can replace a lost title, record and release a loan on title, and perfect liens by following these title steps. Deals must be in writing on Division forms, and offers go to the owner within 5 days. You can request a transfer-on-death title with a notarized form; after death, title can pass to your named person without probate.
Specialty licenses for manufactured home work
The Administrator can create specialty licenses for limited work on manufactured housing, like awnings, plumbing, HVAC, or electrical. Each specialty has minimum qualifications and a written or oral exam. Applicants pay application and license fees set by regulation. Licensed specialty workers must follow the same rules as general servicepersons and pay required fees.
One housing statute repealed
The law repeals NRS 489.150. Any duties or rights in that section no longer apply.
