OAR 918-500-0040: Disclosure Regarding Permissible Uses, Roof Snow Loads, and Anchoring

(1) Dealers and distributors selling manufactured homes for installation in Oregon must present each potential buyer of a new manufactured home with a division disclosure statement to read and sign prior to the completion of the sales contract of any new manufactured home. Prior to presenting disclosures to potential buyers and prior to any sale, dealers and distributors must complete the disclosure in writing indicating the date, dealer’s or distributor’s name, address, and Department of Consumer and Business Services dealer license number. Dealers and distributors must give one signed copy of the disclosure to the buyer and retain one copy in the dealer’s or distributor’s files for not less than five years from the date of sale. Copies of signed disclosures must be made available to the division upon request. (2) Dealers or distributors may reprint the division’s disclosure form or include the division’s disclosure statement within their own sales contract. If a dealer or distributor prints its own disclosure, the content must be identical to the division’s disclosure statement and must not be less than 11 point type size. (3) Dealers and distributors are responsible for maintaining accurate records and filing those reports where required by the federal Manufactured Housing Procedural Regulations (24 CFR 3282), ORS chapter 446 and OAR chapter 918, divisions 500 and 515. [NOTE: Disclosure form is available from the division and can be found on the division Web site at <http://www.oregon.gov/bcd/permit-services/Pages/manufactured-dwelling-services.aspx>.] [Publications: Publications referenced are available from the agency.]
