Summary
The Mobilehome Parks Act requires the Department of Housing and Community Development to establish regulations for manufactured home, mobilehome, and commercial modular foundation systems. Existing law requires the installation of a manufactured home, mobilehome, or commercial modular as a fixture or improvement to real property to comply with specified provisions, including obtaining a building permit and submission of plans as required by the department's regulations. The Vehicle License Fee Law exempts from imposition of the vehicle license fee mobilehomes sold and installed on a foundation system pursuant to the above-described provisions and provides that a mobilehome exempted by this provision is subject to local property taxation. Existing law also requires the Department of Housing and Community Development to transfer a manufactured home or mobilehome which is subject to the vehicle license fee to local property taxation upon a request executed by the owner, legal owner, and each junior lienholder. This bill would authorize the assessor to transfer a manufactured home, subject to vehicle license and registration fees, to property taxation where the assessor finds that the manufactured home has been rebuilt to the substantial equivalent of a new residential structure, as specified, and would require the base year value of the manufactured home to be its full cash value on the date of completion of new construction. The bill would require the assessor to notify each assessee whose manufactured home is to be placed on the local assessment roll, and to also give notification to the Department of Housing and Community Development and the legal owner, if any, of the manufactured home. This bill would require the Department of Housing and Community Development to transfer the manufactured home or mobilehome to local property taxation upon notification by the assessor. This bill would also make related conforming changes. This bill would include a change in state statute that would result in a taxpayer paying a higher tax within the meaning of Section 3 of Article XIIIA of the California Constitution, and thus would require for passage the approval of 23 of the membership of each house of the Legislature. This bill would take effect immediately as a tax levy.
