Under Ala. Admin. Code r. 535-X-14 § 535-X-14-.02, Alabama's manufactured housing regulations establish two foundational definitions used throughout the rule. A 'salesperson' is any individual who sells or attempts to sell manufactured homes or manufactured buildings to the public, while a 'retailer' is treated as synonymous with a 'dealer.' These definitions set the scope of who is covered by the broader regulatory framework governing manufactured housing transactions in Alabama.
