Inspection Findings of Non-Compliance
A. Results of the inspection may be made available to manufacturers, retailers or developers
upon request. When serious violations are found on HUD certified units or with the temporary
storage of the units, the Factory-Built Home Division of the State Fire Marshal's Office shall
immediately attach a non-compliance identification tag to the unit in question.
B. It shall be a violation of these Rules and Regulations for any Factory-Built home to be
sold or offered for sale which has a non-compliance identification tag attached. The wording
on such tag shall be as follows:
"This unit, having been found to be in NON-COMPLIANCE with the Uniform
Standards Code for Factory-Built Homes Law and having been identified, shall not
be sold or offered for sale in the State of Mississippi. Anyone tampering with or
removing this Identification Tag from this unit will be prosecuted as set forth in this
Act and shall be subject to revocation of their license."
C. A non-compliance identification tag attached to a unit may be removed only by the
Factory-Built Home Division of the State Fire Marshal's Office. Such tag shall be
completed as required thereon.
D. When the State Fire Marshal has reasonable grounds to believe that a unit has been
constructed in non-compliance with these standards, he may require, at the manufacturers’
expense, that the walls, floors, decking or other panels be removed for the purpose of inspection.
E. Units having been identified as being in non-compliance with these Rules and Regulations
and having a non-compliance tag attached may be transported and relocated only after notice
has been given to the Factory-Built Home Division of the State Fire Marshal's Office. Such
notice will set forth the purpose for moving such unit, to whom the unit is to be delivered along
with complete mailing address and telephone number, serial number, HUD label number and
any other information as may be requested.
F. When such violation(s) have been corrected, the unit in question shall be re-inspected by
the Factory-Built Home Division of the State Fire Marshal's Office and if found in compliance
with the National Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standards Act, the
Manufactured Housing Improvement Act of 2000 and this Regulation, the inspector shall
remove the non-compliance identification tag. The unit can then be sold or offered for sale.
