Overview
Increases certain payments to and disbursements from the Mobile Home Relocation Fund (Fund).
History
The Fund provides relief to tenants required to relocate due to: 1) a change in land use; 2) rent increases; or 3) community age restrictions. Current law allows a tenant moving due to change in land use to receive Fund disbursements up to $7,500 for single section mobile homes or $12,500 for multi-section mobile homes in relocations within 100 miles from the vacated mobile home park (A.R.S. § 33-1476.01).
Each owner of a mobile home located in a mobile home park who does not own the land on which the mobile home is located are annually assessed a rate of $.5 per $100 of a taxable assessed valuation. Monies collected from the annual assessment are deposited into the Fund (A.R.S. § 33-1476.03).
