Ala. Code §§ 24-5-30 to 24-5-34 § 24-5-34
Certain Local Laws, Municipal Ordinances, Etc., Not Repealed.
Operative Text
This article shall not repeal any local act, general law of local application or municipal ordinance where provisions thereof have standards, qualifications and requirements for the anchoring of mobile homes equal to or higher than those provided in this article, and such laws, acts or ordinances shall remain entirely in full force and effect.
Alabama Code §§ 24-5-30 to 24-5-34 establishes that state-level mobile home anchoring standards do not automatically override local rules that are equally or more stringent. Where a city, county, or municipality has enacted its own anchoring requirements that meet or exceed the state standard, those local rules continue to apply with full legal force. The provision functions as a savings clause, preserving stricter local protections rather than preempting them.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators and owners of mobile home communities in Alabama should be aware that §§ 24-5-30 to 24-5-34 means compliance with state anchoring standards may not be sufficient in every jurisdiction. Where a local act or municipal ordinance imposes higher anchoring qualifications, those local rules remain fully enforceable alongside state law. Compliant operators generally review both state requirements and any applicable local ordinances to determine which standard governs their specific location.

Under Alabama Code §§ 24-5-30 to 24-5-34, tenants living in mobile homes may be protected by local anchoring standards that are stricter than the state baseline. If a local ordinance or municipal rule imposes higher requirements, that local law remains in full effect and is not displaced by state law. Tenants who believe anchoring standards are not being met can look into whether their municipality has its own rules, contact local code enforcement, or reach out to a tenant-rights organization for general guidance on available options.
