This program was previously in place until 2020 and will now be reinstated starting in 2025 and ending in 2028. Additionally, the text mentions current laws regarding the taxation of mobilehomes and manufactured homes, and how this bill would change the tax clearance certificate requirements for those seeking registration or transfer.

AB 2387 (Pellerin) Mobilehome Parks: Additional Lots: Exemption from Additional Fees or Charges
This bill would authorize an owner of an existing mobilehome park that is subject to, or intends to qualify for, a valid permit to operate the park, to apply to the enforcement agency to add additional specified lots to the mobilehome park not to exceed 10% of the previously approved number of lots in the mobilehome park, if the owner has not had their permit to operate suspended. The bill would require the owner to apply to the enforcement agency for, and obtain from the enforcement agency, all required permits pursuant to the act before adding additional lots. The bill would exempt the additional lots from any business tax, local registration fee, use permit fee, or other fee, except those fees that apply to the existing lots in the park, and would prohibit the owner from reducing the size of, or interfering with, certain existing facilities. This bill would prohibit the enforcement agency, city, or county from requiring a conditional use permit, zoning variance, or other zoning approval in order to add the lots. By requiring a city or county to ministerially approve a project to add the mobilehome park lots described above, this bill would exempt those projects from CEQA.
