Park buyers pay $10,000 per lot
Buyers of manufactured housing communities and mobile home parks must pay $10,000 for each lot when the deed is recorded. The registry keeps 5% and sends 95% to the State by the 10th each month. Exempt buyers include the Maine State Housing Authority, municipal housing authorities, and cooperatives whose members are the home owners. Buyers with total net worth under $50,000,000, counting affiliates, are also exempt but must give a signed net-worth attestation and any documents set by the Department of Professional and Financial Regulation. Registers of deeds must keep proof of payment or exemption.
New fund to keep park homes affordable
The Maine State Housing Authority runs a new, permanent fund to keep manufactured and mobile home parks affordable. The fund supports ownership by homeowners, homeowner associations, resident co-ops, and other nonprofits. Money comes from the new transfer fees and from gifts, grants, and future appropriations. The fund does not expire.
