A SUMMARY OF HOUSE BILL 4534 AS INTRODUCED 3-27-01
Under Public Act 243 of 1959, mobile homes in mobile home parks are subject to a $3 per month specific tax instead of property taxes. Of that amount, 50 cents goes to the county general fund; 50 cents goes to the general fund of the local municipality; and $2 goes to the State School Aid Fund. (The act does not use the term "mobile homes" but refers to an "occupied trailer coach . . . occupying space in a trailer coach park".)
House Bill 4534 would increase the specific tax to $8 per month. Of that, 50 cents would go the county general fund; $4.50 would go to the general fund of the local municipality; and $3 would go to the State School Aid Fund.
