home parks, recreational vehicle parks, and campgrounds shall meet rules and regulations duly

Parks and campgrounds built after July 1, 1977, must meet the standards in place at the time of their construction, while those built before that date were required to come into full compliance by July 1, 1985. When new rules are adopted after a facility is already built, all covered parks and campgrounds generally have up to eight years from the effective date of those rules to achieve compliance.

Operators of mobile home parks, recreational vehicle parks, and campgrounds in North Dakota should be aware that § 23-10-02 places their facilities under the ongoing supervisory authority of the state department, which can promulgate and enforce rules under chapter 28-32. Compliant operators typically track the effective dates of newly adopted regulations, since any rule issued after a facility's construction carries an eight-year compliance window. Maintaining documentation of construction dates and monitoring rulemaking activity helps operators demonstrate that their facilities meet the applicable standards for their construction era.
