(A) Every person, firm, corporation or other entity holding title to or possessing a new manufactured home and pre-owned manufactured home which is placed or located within the jurisdiction of the county shall report the location of the home to the Supervisor of Assessments. When moving, selling or renting a previously permitted manufactured home under this subchapter, regardless if the destination is within or outside of the county, the applicant shall obtain a permit from the Code Administrator prior to moving.
(B) The Illinois Mobile Home Tiedown Act requires all manufactured homes that are moved or set up on site after January 1, 1980 to be tied down in accordance with rules promulgated by the State Department of Public Health. It is the homeowner’s responsibility to ensure that the home is tied down within 30 days after the home is installed. There are no mandatory requirements for the installers of anchoring equipment but the Department recommends that a certified manufactured home installer be used. Homeowners may do their own installation. Anyone that installs tie-down equipment must comply with the requirements of the Manufactured Home Tiedown Code.
