Section 701.74.5. Taxation—real estate.  


Latest version.
  • Homes located outside of mobile home parks or manufactured home communities must be placed on a permanent foundation and are subject to assessment and taxation as real estate. The homes are eligible for all property tax credits and exemptions applicable to other real estate. The assessor shall collect the title to a home only when a security interest is noted on the title and the secured party is given a mortgage on the land on which the home is located. Homes located outside mobile home parks or manufactured home communities as of July 1, 1994, are not subject to the permanent foundation requirements unless the home is relocated.

    This rule is intended to implement Iowa Code section 435.26.
