"Individual owner" defined; general permits; special permits
Sec. 4. (a) As used in this section, "individual owner" means the
owner of a mobile home or sectionalized building who bought the
mobile home or sectionalized building for the owner's personal or
business use and not for immediate resale.
(b) The Indiana department of transportation shall grant permits
to operate special tractor-mobile home rigs of two (2) general classes
as follows:
(1) General permits, for the operation of a special
tractor-mobile home rig by a person, except an individual
owner, in the ordinary course of the person's business.
(2) Special permits, for the operation of a special tractor-mobile
home rig for an individual owner for the express purpose of
moving mobile homes or sectionalized buildings by a qualified
mover.
(c) General permits shall be issued annually. One (1) permit shall
be issued for each towing vehicle to be used as a component of a
special tractor-mobile home rig. The holder of a general permit may
make, during the period of the permit, any number of mobile home
or sectionalized building movements with the towing vehicle
component of the special tractor-mobile home rig for which the
permit was granted. However, the Indiana department of
transportation may adopt rules requiring the obtaining of a movement
authorization for each movement.
(d) A special permit is limited to the particular movement of the
mobile home or sectionalized building for which the special permit
is issued. A person purchasing a mobile home or sectionalized
building, but who does not have a legal title to the mobile home or
sectionalized building, is considered the owner of the mobile home
or sectionalized building for the purposes of this chapter if the person
has a contract with the seller or the seller's assignee. However, the
person shall present to the granting authority a statement by the
holder of the legal title to the mobile home or sectionalized building
granting permission for the movement of the mobile home or
sectionalized building.
