Mobile home community lots; construction requirements
Operative Text
Sec. 3. (a) The owner or operator of the mobile home community shall maintain an accurate plat indicating the size and location of each lot. The plat shall be available at the mobile home community office. (b) The certifying design professional must inspect and certify: (1) construction of new mobile home communities; or (2) any changes to a mobile home community; that necessitate submission of plans or specifications in conformance with IC 16-41-27-22, excepting modifications or expansions addressed by IC 25-23.7-8. (c) An occupied mobile home shall not be allowed to remain in a mobile home community unless parked on a lot having: (1) water supply; (2) sewage collection; and (3) electrical; services in conformance with this rule. (d) The following provisions shall apply to all mobile home communities constructed after June 14, 1974, as well as to all additions to communities constructed after that date: (1) Each mobile home community lot shall: (A) contain at least two thousand five hundred (2,500) square feet; and (B) abut directly onto a road, driveway, or parking lot. (2) Mobile homes or manufactured homes shall not be parked closer than ten (10) feet from: (A) an adjoining mobile home or manufactured home; or (B) the expanded portions of the mobile home or manufactured home. (3) No mobile home or manufactured home shall be enclosed around the bottom with a combustible material except that wood may be used for the framework. If mobile homes or manufactured homes are enclosed around the bottom and the water or sewer, or both, connection is located under the mobile home or manufactured home, an access opening or openings shall be provided in close proximity to the water and sewer connections to permit inspection of those connections. (4) A hard surface area, constructed of concrete, stone, or masonry, shall be provided for each mobile home or manufactured home lot of adequate size to provide a base for steps to the mobile home or manufactured home. A hard surface walk shall connect the steps with the road, driveway, or parking lot. (e) Bales of hay or straw shall not be used for skirting or insulation of mobile homes or manufactured homes.
Indiana regulation 410 IAC 6-6 § 410-6-6-3 establishes physical construction and layout standards for mobile home communities. It requires that each occupied lot be served by water, sewage, and electrical connections; that lots built after June 14, 1974, meet minimum size and spacing requirements; and that hard-surface walkways, non-combustible skirting materials, and certified professional inspections be part of any new construction or significant modification. The rule also mandates that an accurate plat showing lot sizes and locations be kept on file at the community office.

Operators of mobile home communities in Indiana must comply with 410 IAC 6-6 § 410-6-6-3 by maintaining an up-to-date plat at the community office and ensuring every occupied lot has functioning water, sewage, and electrical service. For communities or additions developed after June 14, 1974, compliant operators provide lots of at least 2,500 square feet, maintain a ten-foot clearance between homes, install hard-surface pads and walkways connecting each home to the road, and avoid combustible skirting materials such as hay or straw. Any new construction or changes requiring plan submission must be inspected and certified by a qualifying design professional in accordance with the rule.

Under 410 IAC 6-6 § 410-6-6-3, residents of mobile home communities have a right to occupy lots that meet minimum infrastructure standards, including water, sewage, and electrical service, as well as physical safety requirements such as proper spacing between homes and non-combustible skirting. If a tenant believes their lot or community does not meet these standards—for example, lacking required utility connections or using prohibited materials like hay bales for skirting—they may consider contacting the Indiana State Department of Health, which administers this rule, or reaching out to a local tenant-rights organization for guidance. Tenants may also request to review the community's plat, which the operator is required to keep available at the community office under this provision.
