(a) All mobile homes and manufactured homes shall be installed in compliance with Chapter 296-150M WAC, which is incorporated into this chapter by this reference.

(b) All mobile homes and manufactured homes shall have permanent landings with permanent steps or inclined planes provided at all entrances and shall have the tow tongue removed except that in identified floodplain areas it may be camouflaged to the extent that it is unrecognizable.

(c) In those areas that are recognized as floodplain by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, all manufactured homes must be anchored to prevent flotation, collapse or lateral movement, and shall be installed using methods and practices that minimize flood damage. Anchoring methods may include, but are not limited to, use of over-the-top or frame ties to ground anchors (reference FEMA's "Manufactured Home Installation in Flood Hazard Areas" guidebook for additional techniques). All manufactured homes shall have the lowest floor elevated to or above the base flood elevation and shall be securely anchored to an adequately anchored foundation system. In those areas that are recognized as hazardous because of the probability of earthquakes, the building official may set requirements that are necessary to lessen the hazard or may require that the installation be designed by an engineer or architect licensed in the state of Washington.
