Illinois § 4

§ 4.

The owner of each inhabited mobile home or manufactured home located in this State, but not located inside of a mobile home park, on the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 96th General Assembly shall, within 30 days after such date, record with the Office of the Recorder in the county where the mobile home or manufactured home is located a mobile home registration form containing the information hereinafter specified, subject to the county's recording fees. Mobile home park operators shall forward a copy of the mobile home registration form provided in Section 12 of "An Act to provide for, license and regulate mobile homes and mobile home parks and to repeal an Act named herein", approved September 8, 1971, as amended, to the township assessor, if any, or to Supervisor of Assessments or county assessor if there is no township assessor, or to the county assessor in those counties in which a county assessor is elected pursuant to Section 3-45 of the Property Tax Code, within 5 days of the entry of a mobile home into such park. The owner of a mobile home or manufactured home not located in a mobile home park, other than a mobile home or manufactured home with respect to which the requirements of Section 5-30 of the Conveyance and Encumbrance of Manufactured Homes as Real Property and Severance Act and the requirements of Section 3-116.1 or Section 3-116.2 of the Illinois Vehicle Code, as applicable, have been satisfied unless with respect to the same manufactured home there has been recorded an affidavit of severance pursuant to Section 5-50 of the Conveyance and Encumbrance of Manufactured Homes as Real Property and Severance Act, shall, within 30 days after initial placement of such mobile home or manufactured home in any county and within 30 days after movement of such mobile home or manufactured home to a new location, record with the Office of the Recorder in the county where the mobile home or manufactured home is located a mobile home registration showing the name and address of the owner and every occupant of the mobile home or manufactured home, the location of the mobile home or manufactured home, the year of manufacture, and the square feet of floor space contained in such mobile home or manufactured home together with the date that the mobile home or manufactured home became inhabited, was initially installed and set up in the county, or was moved to a new location. Such registration shall also include the license number of such mobile home or manufactured home and of the towing vehicle, if there be any, and the State issuing such licenses, subject to the county's recording fees. In the case of a mobile home or manufactured home not located in a mobile home park, the registration shall be signed by the owner or occupant of the mobile home or manufactured home. Failure to record the registration shall not prevent the home from being assessed and taxed as real property. It is the duty of each township assessor, if any, and each Supervisor of Assessments or county assessor if there is no township assessor, or the county assessor in those counties in which a county assessor is elected pursuant to Section 3-45 of the Property Tax Code, to require timely filing of a properly completed registration for each mobile home or manufactured home located in a mobile home park in his or her township or county, as the case may be. Any person furnishing misinformation for purposes of registration or failing to record a required registration is guilty of a Class A misdemeanor. This Section applies only when the tax permitted by Section 3 has been imposed on mobile homes and manufactured homes located inside mobile home parks. (Source: P.A. 98-749, eff. 7-16-14.)
