Each lot in a mobile home park must be provided with an approved electrical service outlet. 4. Each lot in a mobile home park must be provided with an approved plumbing system. 5.

N.D. Admin. Code ch. 33-33-01 § 33-33-01-04 establishes baseline facility standards for mobile home parks, recreational vehicle parks, and campgrounds in North Dakota. It requires that streets and walkways meet a specific minimum lighting level, that each mobile home lot be equipped with approved electrical and plumbing service, and that installer certifications confirming compliance with state codes be submitted before a mobile home license is issued. The rule also prohibits accessory buildings or structures from blocking the exit ways of a mobile home, and mandates department approval before converting a park from one type to another.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators subject to N.D. Admin. Code ch. 33-33-01 § 33-33-01-04 generally ensure that all streets and walkways are lit to the required minimum average of four-tenths foot-candles with a uniformity ratio no greater than six to one. Compliant park managers obtain and retain signed certifications from licensed electrical and plumbing installers confirming that all work meets applicable state codes prior to seeking a mobile home license. Operators also verify that no accessory building or structure is positioned in a way that blocks a mobile home's exit ways, and they seek department approval before undertaking any conversion of the park's designated type.

If these conditions are not met, tenants may consider documenting the deficiency and raising it as a potential code violation with the North Dakota Department of Environmental Quality or the relevant state agency that oversees mobile home park licensing. Tenant-rights organizations and legal aid services can help residents understand what remedies or complaint processes may be available under this provision.
