Within how many days must the Division issue or deny a license application?

The correct timeframe for the Division to issue or deny a license application is 60 days. This period is established to ensure that applicants receive a timely response regarding their licensing status, allowing them to proceed with their business plans or take necessary actions if their application is denied. Setting the period at 60 days strikes a balance between allowing enough time for thorough review of applications and ensuring that applicants do not experience excessive delays in obtaining their licenses.

In a regulated industry like manufactured housing, adherence to such timelines promotes fairness and efficiency in the licensing process, which is critical for maintaining the integrity of the industry and protecting consumer interests. Understanding this timeframe is essential for applicants to plan strategically and manage their expectations regarding the licensing process.
