(7)

The registration forms provided by the division must require information necessary to assist the division in identifying and locating a mobile home park and other information that may be useful to the state.

(I)

The division shall establish by rule a fee that each landlord shall pay to the division as an annual registration fee for each mobile home independently owned on rented land within the landlord’s mobile home park. On and after July 1, 2024, the division may adjust the fee to cover the costs associated with complaints filed pursuant to section 38-12-1103 (2)(b), and may by rule authorize landlords to charge a resident, as defined in section 38-12-201.5 (11), a portion of the fee. A landlord must not charge a home owner or resident more than half of the fee. The registration fee for each mobile home must be deposited into the fund.

Landlords who receive registration renewal notifications and do not renew their registration by the expiration date as assigned by the division are also subject to a delinquency fee of up to five thousand dollars.

(10)

Registration is effective on the date determined by the division, and the division must issue a registration number to each registered mobile home park. The division must provide an expiration date, assigned by the division, to each registered mobile home park.
