The bill modifies existing laws regarding the regulation and management of manufactured home communities and introduces new tax incentives for owners.

  • 101.935(2)(e)

    Section 97.615 (2), as it applies to an agent for the department of agriculture, trade and consumer protection in the administration of s. 97.67, applies to an agent for the department of safety and professional services in the administration of this section.

    This repeal removes the application of certain agricultural regulations to the regulation of manufactured home communities.

  • 101.935(2)(a)

    The department or a village, city or county granted agent status under par. (e) shall issue permits to and regulate manufactured home communities. → The department shall issue permits to and regulate manufactured home communities.

    This amendment centralizes the regulatory authority to the department, eliminating local governments' ability to issue permits.

  • 71.05(6)(b)57

    income received by the owner of a community, as defined in s. 710.15 (1) (ad), in this state from the sale of the community to a homeowner’s association, cooperative, or membership organization, any group composed entirely of homeowners, a nonprofit organization, or a nonprofit affordable housing developer if the sale is approved by more than 51 percent of the occupants, as defined in s. 710.15 (1) (c), and residents, as defined in s. 710.15 (1) (f), of the community.

    This creates a tax subtraction for income from certain sales of manufactured home communities to eligible organizations or groups.

  • 71.26(2)(a)13

    minus the income received by the owner of a community, as defined in s. 710.15 (1) (ad), in this state from the sale of the community to a homeowner’s association, cooperative, or membership organization, any group composed entirely of homeowners, a nonprofit organization, or a nonprofit affordable housing developer if the sale is approved by more than 51 percent of the occupants, as defined in s. 710.15 (1) (c), and residents, as defined in s. 710.15 (1) (f), of the community.

    This provision requires excluding certain income from taxable income for specific community sales.

  • 71.45(2)(a)25

    For taxable years beginning after December 31, 2025, by subtracting from federal taxable income the income received by the owner of a community, as defined in s. 710.15 (1) (ad), in this state from the sale of the community to a homeowner’s association, cooperative, or membership organization, any group composed entirely of homeowners, a nonprofit organization, or a nonprofit affordable housing developer if the sale is approved by more than 51 percent of the occupants, as defined in s. 710.15 (1) (c), and residents, as defined in s. 710.15 (1) (f), of the community.

    This establishes an additional tax benefit for community owners selling to certain organizations that complies with the specified resident approval.
