This is the applicable RSA:
72:7-a Manufactured Housing. –
I. Manufactured housing suitable for use for domestic, commercial or industrial purposes is taxable as real estate in the town in which it is located on April 1 in any year if it was brought into the state on or before April 1 and remains here after June 15 in any year; except that manufactured housing as determined by the commissioner of revenue administration, registered in this state for touring or pleasure and not remaining in any one town, city or unincorporated place for more than 45 days, except for storage only, shall be exempt from taxation. This paragraph shall not apply to manufactured housing held for sale or storage by an agent or dealer.
The key phrase for registered trailers/motor homes being: not remaining in any one town, city or unincorporated place for more than 45 days, except for storage only
It is not considered "double" taxation as the property tax is a tax levied at the local level, and the proposed incorporation of the rooms & meals tax is a separate tax levied at the State level.
Please don't shoot the messenger, I'm just relaying what the law is...  |
Well, I stand corrected.
I could've sworn that the mail we received last year said that if we provided a registration, we didn't have to pay the town property tax.
In any case, who else can't wait until 2010 to vote the party that brought us this mess out of office?
