What is required of a dealer to remedy a violation of not notifying the Department timely?

To remedy a violation of not notifying the Department in a timely manner, a dealer is typically required to address both the payment of an administrative fee and the assessment of a civil penalty. This combined approach serves to hold the dealer accountable for the oversight while also ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements moving forward.

The administrative fee acts as a means of administrative correction rather than punishment, allowing the Department to manage its operating costs associated with handling such violations. On the other hand, imposing a civil penalty serves as a deterrent against future delays and emphasizes the importance of timely communication with regulatory bodies.

By requiring both actions, the Department reinforces its commitment to regulatory adherence while offering the offending dealer a structured path to rectify the situation. This dual requirement underscores the seriousness of compliance in the mobile home and manufactured home industry and the ongoing responsibility that dealers have to keep the Department informed of significant matters.
