PACS requires notification of the sale of the operation and an application form submitted from the new owners which will identify any pertinent information with regard to changes within the operation. The operation will also require an inspection under the new ownership; the annual inspection may be timed so that it takes place following the purchase of an operation, but this will need to be coordinated with PACS.
NOTE: The Low Risk status cannot be transferred to a new owner. A new purchaser must apply for certification, which requires an annual inspection.
