During what time must a mobile home dealer inform the HCD of an address change?

The requirement for a mobile home dealer to inform the Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) of an address change within 30 days is established to ensure that the dealer's records are always up to date. This timeframe gives adequate time for the dealer to manage their administrative duties while also ensuring that the HCD can maintain effective communication and oversight of licensed dealers. Keeping the records current is crucial for regulatory purposes, as it helps prevent potential issues regarding licensing and compliance with state regulations. An updated address allows for the proper delivery of correspondence, including renewal notices and any legal documents.

Address changes that are reported promptly help in maintaining a transparent relationship between the dealer and the HCD, which is vital for accountability in the manufactured home industry. Additionally, longer timeframes such as 60 days could result in unnecessary complications and delays in communication, which is why 30 days is seen as a balanced and reasonable period for compliance.
