The California Department of Housing and Community
Development (HCD) has developed a new Fee and Tax Waiver program that would
allow people who purchased a mobile home, or manufactured home, but didn’t
receive the necessary title to the property to properly register their home(s),
saving them hundreds and thousands of dollars in local and state taxes, fees
and penalties. The program, passed as Assembly Bill 587, was signed by Gov.
Edmund G. Brown and took effect this year.
Those manufactured home owners who haven’t applied for
registration before and don’t have a title are eligible, meaning probably
160,000 people qualify! Many owners either were unaware they were required to
register their home or wanted to but couldn’t afford the taxes and fees that
came with it.
“This program gives people who acquired a home but didn’t
get the proper documentation a one-time opportunity to correct their situation
and not have to pay many back taxes, fees and penalties often incurred by prior
owners,” said HCD Director Ben Metcalf. “With the proper title and
registration, homeowners can have the security and peace of mind that comes
from having a stable and secure home. “
