MANUFACTURED HOMES

 

Significant changes in the manner in which manufactured and mobile homes are taxed took place on January 1, 2000. Manufactured homes purchased after that date will be taxed like real property. If you purchased your home before January 1, 2000 you now have the option of converting to this new taxation method.

 

Methods of taxation

There are now two different methods of taxing manufactured homes:

Depreciation Method

- This is the method that has been used for all manufactured homes. The sale price of the home is reduced to either 80% for a furnished home or 95% for an unfurnished home. A depreciation allowance of 5% per year is then applied to the reduced sales price until a maximum depreciation allowance of 35% for furnished homes or 50% for unfurnished homes is reached. This depreciated amount is then multiplied by 40% to create the assessed or "taxable" value. The assessed value is then multiplied by the full tax rate to determine the amount of annual taxes that are billed semi-annually. Manufactured homes acquired prior to Jan. 1, 2000 may stay on this method or may elect to change to the new Appraisal method.

 

Appraisal Method

– A manufactured home that is purchased after Jan. 1, 2000 will be taxed using the Appraisal method. In addition, owners of existing manufactured homes may elect to convert to this method.

Under this method manufactured home owners will pay a manufactured home tax that is like real property tax. The values of these homes will be adjusted every three years to their estimate market value. The estimated market value of the home will be multiplied by 35% to create an assessed or "taxable" value for the property. This value will then be multiplied by the effective tax rate to determine the amount of tax that will be billed semi-annually.

The manufactured home owners that are taxed using this method will also be entitled to a 10% rollback and a 2.5% reduction of the taxes billed semi-annually.

 

Converting to the Appraisal Method

Owners of manufactured homes acquired prior to January 1, 2000 may choose to convert to the appraisal method, however, you may only change once. To do so all taxes must be paid prior to conversion and a form available in the Auditor’s office must be completed. Transfers after Jan. 1, 2000 will automatically convert to the appraisal method. Contact the Auditor’s Office if you are interested in converting.

 

Converting to Real Estate

Certain manufactured home owners may be eligible to have their home taxed as real estate. To do so, you must meet a certain criteria, generally speaking the home must be affixed to a permanent foundation and the owner of the home must also own the land. All taxes must be paid, and the title of the manufactured home must be inactivated and surrendered to the Auditor’s Office. Contact the Auditor’s Office if you believe you qualify.

 Other Changes

 

Transfer of Ownership:

The County Auditor must transfer used manufactured homes that are sold after January 1, 2000. The sale will be subject to a conveyance fee of $4.00 per $1,000 of the sale price. Once the conveyance is paid in the Auditor’s office, the Clerk of Courts can transfer the title without charging sales tax.

 

Relocation Notice:

This notice is required for any manufactured home that is moved on a public road within the state of Ohio. The notice must be attached to the rear of the home during the move. Failure to get this notice can result in a fine of $100.00 for the owner of the home and the person moving the home. A Relocation Notice is available at the County Auditor’s Office for a charge of $5.00. All taxes must be paid on the home at the time the Relocation Notice is issued.

 

Penalty for Failure to Register a Manufactured Home:

All owners of Manufactured homes are required to register their home with the County Auditor’s Office within 30 days after locating in Gallia County. Failure to do so can result in a $100.00 fine.

 

Board of Revision:

Homeowners taxed under the Appraisal method may appeal the valuation of their manufactured home with the Board of Revisions by filing a complaint between January 1 and March 31.

 

Interest on Delinquent Taxes:

Delinquent taxes on manufactured homes are now subject to interest charges.

Conveyance and Transfer Fees:

Conveyance Fee  $4.00 per $1,000.00

Transfer Fee $. 50 per transfer

Your County Auditor’s office can more fully explain these important changes to you and help you determine if a change to the Appraisal Method would be beneficial to you. Please do not hesitate to contact us.
