Ala. Admin. Code r. 535-X-17 § 535-X-17-.02
Definitions
Operative Text
As used in this regulation the Commission hereby adopts and incorporates by reference thereto the definitions in the Code of Ala. 1975, Section 24-5-2(5)(6).
Ala. Admin. Code r. 535-X-17 § 535-X-17-.02 establishes the definitional foundation for the broader manufactured-housing regulation by formally adopting the terms defined in Code of Alabama 1975, Section 24-5-2(5) and (6). Rather than restating those definitions independently, the rule incorporates them by reference, meaning the statutory meanings govern how key terms are interpreted throughout the regulation. Understanding those incorporated definitions is essential to reading any other provision in this regulatory chapter correctly.
Plain English — not legal advice.

Compliant operators generally familiarize themselves with those statutory definitions to ensure they are applying the correct meanings when interpreting their obligations under the broader Chapter 535-X-17 framework. Consulting the Alabama Real Estate Commission's published materials or the full statutory text can help clarify how defined terms apply to day-to-day operations.
