This bill amends several sections of Florida Statutes related to mobile homes, specifically focusing on the obligations of mobile home park owners and mobile home owners. It introduces new requirements for mobile home park owners, including the necessity to maintain current registration stickers on mobile homes, keep updated records of mobile home ownership, and ensure compliance with applicable building, housing, fire, and health codes. Additionally, it allows local governments to adopt and enforce codes or ordinances to ensure compliance with these obligations.

The bill also revises the obligations of mobile home owners, emphasizing their responsibility to comply with building, housing, fire, and health codes, while removing the previous stipulation that they are responsible for fines imposed by local governments for noncompliance. Furthermore, it clarifies that local governments must cite responsible parties for violations of local codes and that no penalties can be imposed on mobile home owners for the park owner's responsibilities or vice versa. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2026.
