Overview
An emergency measure that increases certain disbursements from the Mobile Home
Relocation Fund (Fund).
History
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).
