Official statutory text
(b) In determining the value of a mobile manufactured home park for the purpose of real property taxation, assessors shall consider the cost of the original unimproved land and all improvements thereon, including, but not limited to, leveling, drainage, filling, paving of streets and walkways, lighting, installation of water, sewer and electrical systems, facilities for sanitation, laundering and recreation, erection of structures and landscaping.
(c) In determining the value of a mobile manufactured home for the purpose of property taxation, beginning with the assessment year commencing October 1, 1986, each assessor shall assess mobile manufactured homes connected to utilities and used as a residence in the same manner as residential real property, except that in the case of a mobile manufactured home located on leased land the sum of the assessed value of the mobile manufactured home and the assessed value of the land apportionable to the lot on which the mobile manufactured home sits shall not exceed the sum of the assessed value of the mobile manufactured home and the lot if the lot had been owned by the lessee. Any assessor who first assesses any such mobile manufactured home as residential real property on or after October 1, 1986, and which assessment would result in an increase in taxation for said assessment year of over twenty-five per cent shall phase in said increase in assessment over a five-year period, twenty per cent of the increased assessment being phased in on the list of October 1, 1986, and twenty per cent in each of the four assessment years next succeeding the list of October 1, 1986. The assessment for a mobile manufactured home shall be in the name of the owner of the mobile manufactured home and shall not alter in any way the assessment of the ground upon which the mobile manufactured home is situated, except that a mobile manufactured home situated upon land owned by the owner of the mobile manufactured home shall be assessed in the same manner as any dwelling house. In determining the value of a mobile manufactured home which is not used as a residence for the purpose of property taxation, assessors may consult authoritative handbooks listing current common prices of used mobile manufactured homes.
(d) (1) Notwithstanding the provisions of this section or of any other section of the general statutes or any special act to the contrary, a municipality may, by ordinance, elect to assess a mobile manufactured home, on or after October 1, 1986, but not later than the first sale of such mobile manufactured home, in the same manner in which mobile manufactured homes were assessed by such municipality for the assessment year commencing October 1, 1985. On the first assessment date immediately following the first sale of such mobile manufactured home after October 1, 1986, such mobile manufactured home shall be assessed and subject to property tax pursuant to subsection (c) of this section.
