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. - Park owners must post contacts and hours: benefit, low. 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 as… - Higher state license fees for dealers: cost, medium. 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… - Tenants can be billed for lot upkeep: cost, low. 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 agree… - Trip permit and tax check to move a home: cost, low. 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 misdemea… - More help from Housing Account, with limits: mixed, high. 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… - Rules for abandoned or long-empty homes: mixed, medium. 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 aba… - Stronger oversight and penalties for dealers: mixed, medium. 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 mus… - Tighter safety, installation, and vacate rules: mixed, low. 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 inter… - Stronger sales and title rules for homes: mixed, low. 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… - Specialty licenses for manufactured home work: mixed, low. 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… - One housing statute repealed: mixed, low. The law repeals NRS 489.150. Any duties or rights in that section no longer apply. ## Sponsors and cosponsors - Sponsor: Assembly Committee on Commerce and Labor ## Roll call votes | Date | Chamber | Motion | Result | Yes | No | Other | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 2025-05-19 | Senate | Final Passage - Senate (1st Reprint) | pass | 17 | 3 | | | 2025-04-22 | House | Final Passage - Assembly (1st Reprint) | pass | 40 | 2 | | ## Actions (21) - 2025-05-27: Chapter 13.
