Me. Rev. Stat. tit. 10, §§ 9081–9090-A § 9087
Any person who operates any manufactured housing community without first obtaining a license as required by this subchapter is guilty of a Class E crime. Each day any such person operates the manufactured housing community without obtaining a license constitutes a separate offense.


In the event of any violation of this subchapter or any rule adopted under this subchapter the Attorney General may seek to enjoin further violation thereof, in addition to any other remedy.

Plain English

Under 10 M.R.S. §§ 9081–9087, operating a manufactured housing community in Maine without the required license is a Class E crime, and each day of unlicensed operation counts as a distinct, separate offense. Beyond criminal liability, the Maine Attorney General is authorized to seek a court injunction to stop ongoing violations of this subchapter or any rules adopted under it, alongside any other available legal remedies. This provision applies to any person who runs such a community, regardless of the scale or nature of the operation.

For Property Managers

Operators of manufactured housing communities in Maine must secure the appropriate license before beginning operations, as required under 10 M.R.S. §§ 9081–9087. Because each day of unlicensed operation constitutes a separate criminal offense, compliant operators typically ensure their license is obtained, current, and renewed on schedule before any community activity begins. Operators also generally monitor compliance with all rules adopted under this subchapter to avoid exposure to injunctive action by the Attorney General.

General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.

For Tenants

Residents of manufactured housing communities in Maine may have an interest in knowing whether their community is properly licensed under 10 M.R.S. §§ 9081–9087, as unlicensed operation is a criminal violation and each day without a license is a separate offense. If a community appears to be operating without a license or in violation of this subchapter, tenants can report concerns to the Maine Attorney General's office, which has authority to seek an injunction against further violations. Tenant-rights organizations in Maine can also help residents understand what protections and enforcement paths may be available to them.
