Administration
Operative Text
(1) The Commission shall enforce the rules and regulations adopted pursuant hereto and may delegate enforcement authority to a local government provided the local government's inspection requirements conform with the requirements of the Commission. (2) The Commission may issue insignias of compliance for manufactured buildings of another state provided that the standards for manufactured buildings of another state by statute or rule are reasonably consistent with and at least equal to standards adopted by the Commission. (3) The Commission may obtain injunctive relief from the proper circuit court to enjoin the sale, delivery, or installation of any manufactured building upon an affidavit specifying the manner in which the building does not conform to the requirements of this act or rules issued pursuant thereto. (4) The Commission shall issue an insignia of compliance to all manufactured buildings, equipment, components, custom-built units, and systems that have been manufactured or products to be manufactured or installed; provided the plans have been reviewed by the Commission or inspected by an approved agency delegated by the Commission and are found to be in compliance with the rules and regulations adopted pursuant hereto. (5) Any modular manufacturer or modular retailer (dealer) within or without this state shall apply for a license to sell or lease manufactured buildings in this state. The license fee and bonding and insurance requirements will be at the same rate and basis as pertains to manufactured home (mobile home) licensees. If the licensee also manufactures and/or sells manufactured homes, there will be no additional requirement for bonding and insurance.
Alabama Administrative Code r. 535-X-11 § 535-X-11-.04 establishes how the Alabama Building Commission administers oversight of manufactured buildings. The Commission holds primary enforcement authority, can delegate inspection duties to qualifying local governments, and may seek court-ordered injunctions to stop the sale, delivery, or installation of non-conforming buildings. Buildings that pass review or inspection receive an official insignia of compliance, and manufacturers or retailers selling or leasing manufactured buildings in Alabama must obtain a license with bonding and insurance requirements tied to the manufactured home licensee standard.

Under Ala. Admin. Code r. 535-X-11 § 535-X-11-.04, property owners and managers who deal in manufactured buildings generally ensure that any building they acquire, sell, or install carries a valid Commission-issued insignia of compliance before it changes hands or is placed on a site. Operators who manufacture or retail manufactured buildings in Alabama typically secure the required license and maintain the bonding and insurance levels the Commission specifies. Staying current with these administrative requirements helps demonstrate conformance with the rules the Commission is authorized to enforce, including through injunctive action in circuit court.

Ala. Admin. Code r. 535-X-11 § 535-X-11-.04 gives tenants a framework for understanding the oversight structure behind manufactured buildings in Alabama: the Commission issues compliance insignias only after plans are reviewed or inspections are completed by an approved agency, providing a baseline assurance about building standards. Tenants who have concerns about whether a manufactured building meets state standards may contact the Alabama Building Commission directly, since the provision grants it primary enforcement authority and the ability to delegate to local governments. Tenant-rights organizations or legal aid services can help residents understand what the insignia of compliance means for their specific housing situation and what avenues exist if a building appears to fall short of the required standards.
