HB 7031E<\/a> \u2014 arose as part of the most recent special session, though it\u2019s undergone a few changes since it was originally filed.<\/p>\nAs of Tuesday, the bill includes a provision for the assessment of mobile home parks. More specifically, the bill refers to properties that meet the following:<\/p>\n
At least 75% of the mobile home lots have written rental agreements of at least one year<\/p>\n
If these mobile home parks qualify, their assessed value increases will be capped at 3% per year, using the most recent year\u2019s assessed value as the starting point.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, the assessed value can\u2019t be higher than the market value under this bill.<\/p>\n
That said, the bill doesn\u2019t directly cut residents\u2019 taxes.<\/p>\n
But by capping how fast the park\u2019s taxable value can rise, it could slow increases in the property-tax amounts landlords pass through to tenants under long-term leases.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is declared to be the intent of the Legislature that this section implements (the new rules) for purposes of providing ad valorem relief to residents of mobile home parks,\u201d the bill reads.<\/p>\n
To get these perks, mobile home park owners must apply to the county property appraiser by March 1, proving that they meet the qualifications to do so.<\/p>\n
These rules are set to kick off on Jan. 1, 2027, if the bill gets approved during this session.<\/p>\n
