Class Code 9010
Mobile Home Park Operation – Other
Class Code 9010 covers the routine operational staff and non-construction activities involved in running mobile home parks in California. The September 1, 2026 approved pure premium is $4.424 per $100 of payroll, which reflects expected claim costs for these activities. Understanding this classification helps owners assign correct payroll and control workers' comp exposure.
What Class Code 9010 Covers
This classification applies to the regular, day-to-day operations of a mobile home park other than installation, sales or major construction work. It typically includes on-site park managers, office staff, leasing agents, gate attendants and employees who administer park rules, collect rent, coordinate service contractors, inspect lots, operate community facilities (laundry rooms, clubhouses) and perform light groundskeeping or custodial tasks. It does not generally include heavy equipment operators, licensed electricians/plumbers doing major repairs, or contractors who install or move homes (those activities are classified elsewhere). Employers should assign payroll to 9010 only for workers performing the office, tenant-relations and routine property-operations duties described here.
Who It Applies To
- Park managers and assistant managers who handle tenant relations, rent collection and oversight
- Office clerks, leasing agents and administrative staff who process payments, records and complaints
- Gate attendants and security personnel running access control and visitor logs
- Maintenance workers performing light groundskeeping, janitorial tasks and routine facility checks
- Community facility attendants (laundry/clubhouse) and parking lot attendants
Common Job Duties
- Collecting rent, preparing leasing documents and maintaining tenant records
- Inspecting lots and common areas, documenting code violations and coordinating corrective work
- Scheduling and supervising external contractors for repairs, sewer or utility hookups
- Performing light groundskeeping: mowing, debris removal, trash collection and restroom cleaning
- Operating small motorized equipment (ride-on mowers, pressure washers) and basic custodial tools
- Responding to tenant requests and incidents, including coordinating emergency access and shutoffs
- Maintaining utility meter readings, pool/clubhouse checks and routine safety inspections
Common Injury Risks
Understanding the $4.424 Rate
The pure premium rate of $4.424 per $100 of payroll represents the carrier's estimated claim cost for this work activity only. Insurers multiply that rate by the employer's payroll for employees assigned to 9010 to calculate the pure premium portion; the actual policy premium also includes loss adjustment expenses, underwriting charges, state assessments and any credits or debits. Final cost is affected by your audited payroll, claims history (experience modification), classification accuracy, deductible programs and safety controls that reduce frequency or severity of claims.
Cal/OSHA Compliance Requirements
Cal/OSHA general industry standards apply to mobile home park operations: employers must maintain a written Injury and Illness Prevention Program (IIPP) and provide required training. Outdoor and grounds staff require Heat Illness Prevention training and access to shade and water; employees exposed to sewage or biological hazards need bloodborne pathogen procedures and PPE. Lockout/tagout, confined space procedures and respiratory protection may apply for maintenance of septic or pump systems; hazard communication rules cover chemicals used for cleaning and pool maintenance.

Which employees should I allocate to Class Code 9010 versus a maintenance or contractor code?
Assign 9010 to park staff doing administrative, tenant-facing and routine property-operations work (managers, office clerks, gate attendants, light groundskeeping). Heavy construction, licensed trade work, mobile home installation, or any work using heavy equipment should be classified under the specific construction or trade codes, not 9010.
How can I lower my workers' comp premium for mobile home park operations?
Focus on reducing claim frequency and severity: implement an IIPP, heat illness plans, tenant‑interaction de‑escalation training, proper PPE for sewage-related tasks, documented equipment maintenance, and a formal return-to-work program. Accurate payroll reporting and timely claims reporting also keep experience modifiers and premiums lower.
Do pool, laundry room attendants or clubhouse staff fall under 9010?
Yes—attendance and routine operations of community facilities are typically part of park operations covered by 9010, provided duties are non-specialty (pool maintenance requiring chemical handling may trigger additional training and hazard communication requirements).
