This information pertains to Designated Manufactured Homes located at one of the trailer parks Lynnwood and Westside. Under the Municipal Government Act, designated manufactured homes include manufactured homes, mobile homes, modular homes, and travel trailers.
In most circumstances, all designated manufactured homes are assessable and taxable. This does not include land; the park owner is responsible for paying taxes on the land. The fee to the mobile home park is only for the pad/lot you are renting to place your trailer on, and this does not include water and sewer services or property tax. Homes moved into the municipality in the trailer parks must fill in the Manufactured Mobile Home Change Report to be assessed and taxed accordingly. If you buy or sell your mobile home, you must also fill in the form.
Taxes are the responsibility of the home's current owner, even if there are taxes in arrears. Always ensure that any outstanding taxes have been paid in full before purchasing a designated mobile home.
