☐ Prop 105 (45 votes) ☐ Prop 108 (40 votes) ☒ Emergency (40 votes) ☐ Fiscal NoteHistory

The Fund provides relief to mobile home park tenants that relocated due to: 1) a change in use or redevelopment of the mobile home park; 2) rent increases; or 3) a change in age-restricted community use. Tenants who relocated due to rent increases or a change in age-restricted community use are eligible to receive Fund disbursements of up to $7,500 for a single-section mobile home or up to $12,500 for a multi-section mobile home (A.R.S. §§ 33-1476.04 and 33-1476.05).

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. If the Fund balance exceeds $8,000,000 in any year, the assessments are waived and reinstated if the Fund balance is less than $6,000,000 at the end of the fiscal year. (A.R.S. § 33-1476.03).
