Under which circumstance are local codes not required?

Local codes are not typically required when a compliance certificate is issued. A compliance certificate indicates that a manufactured housing unit meets all necessary local codes and requirements at the time of its issuance. This means that the unit has been inspected and certified by local authorities, confirming that it complies with applicable standards, making it unnecessary for a local code reevaluation each time the unit is involved in a transaction or situation that might require adherence to local codes.

In contrast, situations such as a complaint being filed or a unit being transferred may naturally invoke local code considerations, as they could raise issues related to safety, compliance, or ownership. Additionally, the suspension of a license involves regulatory actions that typically require adherence to local codes to ensure safe and lawful operations. Therefore, the issuance of a compliance certificate provides a clear affirmation of compliance, negating the immediate need for further local code application.
