Information as received from Layhoma Roberts (Program Coordinator/Manufactured Housing) at the Dept of Housing, Buildings and Construction:

A copy of all Kentucky M-Seal reports now need to be uploaded to the portal under the corresponding number for that report(s), in lieu of mailing them in. Once they have been uploaded, you will not need to mail a copy back to me in the mail. I get an electronic notification that they have been uploaded.

The following instructions are provided to help you in creating an account, uploading reports, and ordering seals.  If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Layhoma at 502-573-1795 / layhoma.roberts@ky.gov.
