Plain English

Under 410 IAC 6-6 § 410-6-6-14.1, Indiana's health department can pursue civil penalties against mobile home community operators who violate state mobile home community standards or obstruct department inspectors. Penalties vary by violation category—ranging from $10 to $1,000 per day—and are assessed based on factors such as public health risk, degree of willfulness, and history of noncompliance. The department may adjust penalties to reflect good-faith compliance efforts and can negotiate agreed orders to resolve violations without a formal hearing.

For Property Managers

Under 410 IAC 6-6 § 410-6-6-14.1, compliant mobile home community operators maintain ongoing adherence to all requirements in IC 16-41-27 and 410 IAC 6-6, since penalties accrue daily and are multiplied by the number of days a violation persists. Operators who discover deficiencies generally document and correct them promptly, as the department considers good-faith remediation efforts when setting final penalty amounts. Cooperating fully with department inspectors and responding to inspection findings in writing are practices associated with avoiding the higher end of the penalty schedule.

For Tenants

Residents of mobile home communities in Indiana are protected by the standards enforced under 410 IAC 6-6 § 410-6-6-14.1, which authorizes the state health department to penalize operators who fail to maintain safe conditions for sites, utilities, sewage, and other community features. If a tenant believes their community is out of compliance, they may file a complaint with the Indiana Department of Health, which has authority to inspect and assess penalties. Tenant-rights organizations can help residents understand which specific violations may apply and what complaint processes are available.
