Effective January 1, 2011 any new mobile/manufactured home is automatically real estate that is not in a mobile home park. Any mobile homes existing prior to January 1, 2011 located outside of a mobile home park that do not change ownership will remain under privilege tax until new ownership occurs and at such a time would then become real estate the following year. If any mobile home is located within a mobile home park prior to and after January 1, 2011 it will remain privilege tax. Please contact our office with questions 217-728-4032.
