Manufactured Housing Division

The Manufactured Housing Division will convene a public hearing for the amendment of 14.12.9 NMAC-INSPECTIONS. The hearing will be held before a hearing officer, at which time any interested person is invited to submit data, views, or arguments on the proposed changes, either orally or in writing, and to examine witnesses testifying at the hearing. The hearing is scheduled for Tuesday, September 24, 2024.

The purpose of this public rule hearing is to receive public comments regarding the amendments to 14.12.9 NMAC. Amendments clarify requirements for licensees to correct code violations, pay for re-inspection fees and request inspections.  The amendments also delete outdated requirements for posting permits and licensing requirements incorrectly placed under this section.

The statutory authority for this rulemaking is found in the New Mexico Manufactured Housing Act, Subsection D of Section 60-14-4 NMSA 1978.
