Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 1 costs, 2 mixed.
Most manufactured homes taxed as real property
Starting with the January 1, 2024 assessment, most manufactured and mobile homes, and buildings or fixtures on leased or special lands, are assessed as real property. Local assessors may create a separate tax parcel and tax these improvements to the structure owner. This can raise your property tax bill if your home is not exempt. Homes that qualify for exemptions under 66.0435(3) or 70.11(49) are not covered by this rule.
Prefab campground units: tax break and fee
Certain towable recreational prefabricated structures in licensed campgrounds on land you do not own are exempt from local property tax. The exemption can include attached decks, sheds, and porches. It applies beginning with the January 1, 2026 assessment. Your municipality also charges a monthly permit fee for each such unit occupying a campground space. The law does not set the fee amount and excludes recreational mobile homes from this fee category.
State repays locals for lost campground taxes
Beginning in 2027, the state pays each taxing jurisdiction an amount equal to the property taxes that were levied on qualifying campground prefabricated structures for the January 1, 2025 assessment. Municipalities must report those 2025 totals to the Department of Revenue in the time and format it sets. The Department of Revenue certifies amounts, and the Department of Administration pays on or before the first Monday in July. Each taxing body must attribute a share to any tax increment district; after a district ends, those dollars go to the municipality and other taxing bodies each year.
