What is the primary function of the regulations regarding license fees?

The primary function of regulations regarding license fees is to outline acceptable fee structures for licenses and services. This ensures that the fees associated with obtaining and maintaining a manufactured housing license are fair, transparent, and standardized. By clearly defining how much licensees are expected to pay and the basis for these fees, the regulations help prevent confusion and ensure that all applicants and licensed entities are on equal footing.

This framework is essential for the maintenance of order within the industry, as it establishes clear financial expectations for all parties involved. The outlined fee structures also provide a mechanism for the regulatory body to manage its operations and fund necessary oversight and services related to manufactured housing.

In contrast, while increasing revenue for the state is a potential outcome, it is not the primary purpose of the regulations. Similarly, providing financial aid for housing or eliminating all fees would not maintain the necessary structure and oversight required in the manufactured housing sector.
