2005 Maine Code - §9084 — Issuance of licenses

The board shall, within 30 days following receipt of application, issue an annual license to operate any mobile home park which is found to comply with this subchapter and the rules adopted by the board. [1983, c. 553, §17 (new).]

When any applicant is found, based upon an inspection by the board or by municipal inspection made according to section 9088, not in compliance with the requirements of this subchapter or rules adopted and approved pursuant to section 9085 or section 9088, subsection 1, the board may refuse issuance of the initial license but shall issue a conditional license except when conditions are found that present a danger to the health and safety of the public. A conditional license may not exceed 90 days. Failure by the conditional licensee to meet the conditions specified permits the board to void the conditional license. [1993, c. 642, §38 (amd).]

The conditional license shall be void when the board has delivered in hand or by certified mail a written notice to the conditional licensee or, if the licensee cannot be reached for service in hand or by certified mail, has left notice thereof at the facility. [1983, c. 553, §17 (new).]

Upon the written request of the board, the Department of Health and Human Services, Division of Health Engineering shall provide such technical services as may be required by the board to assist with inspections and licensing of new mobile home parks. The department may assess the mobile home park owner a reasonable fee for these services. [1983, c. 553, §17 (new); 2003, c. 689, Pt. B, §6 (rev).]

All mobile home park licenses expire annually on a date established by the Commissioner of Professional and Financial Regulation. Licenses may be renewed upon application and upon payment of the prescribed fee, subject to compliance with rules of the board and with this subchapter. The board shall notify each licensee of the expiration date of that licensee's license and indicate the fee required for annual renewal. Notice must be mailed to each licensee's last known address at least 30 days in advance of the expiration of the license. A license may be renewed up to 90 days after the date of its expiration upon payment of a late fee of $50 in addition to the renewal fee. If any licensee fails to renew within 90 days after expiration, that licensee is required to make a new application. [1999, c. 386, Pt. C, §4 (amd).]

The issuance of the license provided for in this subchapter does not provide exemption from other state or local laws, ordinances or regulations, notwithstanding any other provision of law. [1983, c. 553, §17 (new).]

Licenses erroneously issued by the board are void and shall be returned to the board on demand as stated in a notice delivered by hand or by certified mail to the licensee. For cause, the board may revoke or suspend any license pursuant to section 9089. [1983, c. 553, §17 (new).]
