Plain English

Indiana Code § 16-41-27-3 establishes a definition used throughout the chapter: a 'local board' is a local government agency that has been authorized to enforce health and sanitation standards for mobile homes, manufactured homes, industrialized residential structures, and mobile home communities, as those standards are set by the state department. This is a definitional provision, meaning it clarifies which governmental body the rest of the chapter refers to when it uses the term 'local board.' The definition does not itself impose duties or grant rights, but it shapes how enforcement authority is allocated throughout the broader regulatory framework.

For Property Managers

Operators of mobile home communities or owners of manufactured and industrialized residential structures in Indiana should be aware that, under Ind. Code § 16-41-27-3, the 'local board' responsible for health and sanitation enforcement is the locally designated government agency authorized by the state department. Compliant operators generally identify and maintain familiarity with their applicable local board, since that body holds enforcement authority over the standards that apply to their properties. Knowing which agency serves as the local board in a given jurisdiction helps operators understand who may conduct inspections or issue compliance directives.

For Tenants

Residents of mobile home communities or manufactured homes in Indiana benefit from knowing that Ind. Code § 16-41-27-3 defines the 'local board' as the local government agency empowered to enforce health and sanitation standards set by the state department. This means there is a designated local authority tenants can contact if they believe health or sanitation standards are not being met in their community or dwelling. Tenants who have concerns about conditions may look into filing a complaint with their applicable local board or reaching out to a tenant-rights organization for guidance on available options.
