PROPERTY TAX BULLETIN NO. 9

(Published under Appropriation No. 1037.1)

Issued April 1, 1985; Replaces May 1, 1983 Revision.

SUBJECT: MOVEMENT OF MOBILE HOMES BY DEALERS OR TRANSPORTERS

REFERENCE: Title 29-A, MRSA, Sections 1002.9, 851-954.

No mobile home shall be moved over the highways of this state unless the operator of the

vehicle hauling such mobile home has in his possession a written certificate from the tax

collector of the municipality in which the mobile home is situated on the day of the move,

identifying the mobile home and stating that all property taxes applicable to the mobile home,

including those for the current tax year, have been paid or that the mobile home is exempt from

such taxes. The tax year shall be the period from April 1st through March 31st. Applicable

property taxes mean committed property taxes.

Mobile home means a structure, transportable in one or more section, which is 8 body feet or

more in width and is 32 body feet or more in length, and which is built on a permanent chassis

and designed to be used as a dwelling with or without a permanent foundation when connected

to the required utilities, and includes the plumbing, heating, air conditioning and electrical

systems contained therein.

A mobile home remains a mobile home even though it may be used for advertising, sales,

display or promotion of merchandise or services, or for any other commercial purposes except

the transportation of property.

Purpose of the Law. This law is intended to control the movement of mobile homes on

which property taxes are due. It applies only to the movement of mobile homes on dealer or

transporter plates; it does not apply to movement of mobile homes which are regularly

registered, since, a mobile home cannot be registered unless the current taxes are paid. Nor

does it apply to the movement of camper trailers. It is to the advantage of tax collectors to make

every effort to see that this law is properly utilized.

Suggested Form of Certificate. When the tax collector receives a request for the certificate

required under the statute, the form on the following page will be satisfactory:

: ( 2 0 7 ) 2 8 7 - 2 0 1 1

( 2 0 7 ) 2 8 7 - 4 4 7 7 ( H

)

: ( 2 0 7 ) 2 8 7 - 6 3 9 6
