The Missouri Public Service Commission regulates investor-owned electric, steam, natural gas, water and sewer and telephone companies. Its mission is to ensure Missouri consumers have access to safe, reliable and reasonably priced utility service while allowing those utility companies under our jurisdiction an opportunity to earn a reasonable return on their investment. The PSC also regulates manufacturers and retail dealers who sell new and used manufactured homes and modular units. The commission was established in 1913. The PSC is comprised of five commissioners, who are appointed by the governor.

Manufactured Housing Overview
The Public Service Commission began regulation of Manufactured
Housing on January 1, 1974. The Manufactured Housing Department became
a State Administrative Agency (SAA) for the Housing and Urban
Development (HUD) Manufactured Housing Program on June 15, 1976.
The Manufactured Housing and Modular Unit Program is governed by
Chapter 700.010-700.692 of the Revised Statutes of Missouri and Chapter
120-125 of the Code of State Regulations.
The Manufactured Housing and Modular Unit Program is staffed by the
Program Manager, an Inspection Supervisor, four Manufactured Housing
Inspectors, and two Clerical Support Personnel.
The Manufactured Housing and Modular Unit Program is responsible for
overseeing the annual registration of dealers and manufacturers of
manufactured homes and modular units as well as the installers of new
manufactured homes. The Program also is responsible for
prescribing and enforcing uniform construction, safety and installation
standards by conducting code and installation inspections, which
includes enforcing tie down and anchoring
requirements.
Consumers who have questions and/or complaints regarding manufactured
home or modular units may contact the Manufactured Housing and Modular
Unit Program. The Commission staff conducts free home inspections
for consumers who file inspection requests/complaints with the
Commission. The Staff successfully resolves complaints through
its formal process of working with manufacturers, dealers, installers
and homeowners.
