Cal. Civ. Code § 410-6-6-11
Ground anchors
Operative Text
Sec. 11. (a) In all mobile home communities and additions to mobile home communities, ground anchors shall be installed on each occupied mobile home lot. (b) When ground anchors are installed, they shall be installed along each I-beam of the mobile home in a row beginning not more than six (6) feet from each end wall of the mobile home. The ground anchors placed along the I-beams of the mobile home shall not be separated by more than twenty-four (24) feet unless a greater separation distance is certified by a registered professional engineer or architect as providing the same or better protection as that provided by the specified configuration. (c) Provision for diagonal ties between ground anchors and the mobile home shall be made in conjunction with each vertical tie-down. (d) Ground anchors exposed to weathering shall be resistant to weathering deterioration at least equivalent to that provided by a coating of zinc on steel of not less than thirty-hundredths (0.30) ounces per square foot of surface coated. Each ground anchor shall be as follows: (1) Designed to resist an allowable working load equal to or exceeding three thousand one hundred fifty (3,150) pounds. (2) Capable of withstanding a fifty percent (50%) overload without failure. (e) After the effective date of this rule, each mobile home or manufactured home installed in a mobile home community shall be installed by a manufactured home installer licensed in accordance with IC 25-23.7-8. (f) After the effective date of this rule, all new mobile homes or manufactured homes installed in a mobile home community shall be installed in accordance with the manufacturer's installation instructions, as required by IC 25-23.7-8-2. (g) After the effective date of this rule, all used mobile homes or manufactured homes installed in a mobile home community shall be installed in accordance with the manufacturer's installation instructions, if such installation instructions are available, as required by IC 25-23.7-8-2.
Under 410 IAC 6-6 § 410-6-6-11, every occupied lot in a mobile home community must have ground anchors installed to secure the mobile home against wind and structural forces. The anchors must follow specific placement rules along the home's I-beams, meet minimum load-resistance standards of 3,150 pounds, and be weather-resistant. Both new and used mobile homes placed in a community after the rule's effective date must be installed by a licensed manufactured home installer following the manufacturer's installation instructions.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of mobile home communities subject to 410 IAC 6-6 § 410-6-6-11 are generally expected to ensure that every occupied lot has properly installed ground anchors meeting the regulation's placement, load, and weathering-resistance specifications. Compliant community operators also verify that any home installed after the rule's effective date is set up by an Indiana-licensed manufactured home installer following the manufacturer's instructions. Maintaining documentation of anchor configurations — including any engineer or architect certifications for non-standard spacing — is a practice consistent with demonstrating compliance.

Under 410 IAC 6-6 § 410-6-6-11, residents of mobile home communities have an interest in knowing that their lot is required to have properly installed, load-rated ground anchors as a baseline safety measure. If a tenant believes anchors are missing, improperly installed, or that their home was set up without a licensed installer, they may consider raising the issue with the community operator, contacting the Indiana State Department of Health (which administers 410 IAC 6-6), or reaching out to a tenant-rights organization for guidance. Keeping records of any communications with the community operator about anchor installation or home setup can be useful when pursuing a complaint through available channels.
