Operative Text
219.340 Issuance, duration, posting of permits to operate manufactured or mobile home community -- Fees -- Permits not transferable. (1) The cabinet shall promulgate administrative regulations to establish a schedule of fees not to exceed administrative costs of the program to the cabinet, that shall be paid for a permit to operate a manufactured or mobile home community. Upon receipt of an application for a permit to operate, accompanied by a permit fee, the cabinet shall issue a permit, provided the community meets the standards and requirements of KRS 219.310 to 219.410 and the administrative regulations promulgated by the cabinet. (2) Each permit to operate, unless sooner suspended or revoked, shall expire on June 30 following its issuance, and be renewable annually, upon application and payment of a renewal fee established by the cabinet, provided the community is maintained and operated in compliance with KRS 219.310 to 219.410 and the administrative regulations promulgated by the cabinet. (3) Each permit to operate shall be issued only for the person and premises, including number of spaces, named in the application and shall not be transferable. (4) The person holding an operating permit shall post it conspicuously within the community or have it readily available for examination upon request by agents of the cabinet or prospective community occupants.
Kentucky Revised Statutes § 219.340 establishes the framework for permits required to operate a manufactured or mobile home community in the state. The state cabinet issues these permits upon receipt of a completed application and fee, provided the community meets applicable standards; each permit expires on June 30 of the year following issuance and must be renewed annually. Permits are tied to a specific person and set of premises—including the number of spaces—and cannot be transferred to another owner or location.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Ky. Rev. Stat. § 219.340, operators of manufactured or mobile home communities are expected to obtain a permit from the cabinet before operating, pay the required fee, and renew that permit each year before the June 30 expiration date. Compliant operators keep the permit posted conspicuously within the community or have it readily available for inspection by cabinet agents or prospective residents. Because the permit is non-transferable and tied to a specific person and premises, operators who acquire or expand a community generally initiate a new application process rather than assuming an existing permit.

Ky. Rev. Stat. § 219.340 gives prospective and current residents of a manufactured or mobile home community the right to request and examine the community's operating permit, which the permit holder is required to have posted or readily available. A valid, current permit signals that the community has met the state's standards under KRS 219.310–219.410 at the time of issuance. Residents who cannot obtain or view a permit, or who have concerns about a community's compliance, may contact the Kentucky cabinet responsible for administering this program or reach out to a local tenant-rights organization for guidance on available options.
