Taxes on a Mobile Home

[Kyle M.]

For tax purposes. I'm building a projection sheet for some brand new mobile homes that I'm bringing into my park. Since they will not be attached to the land, how will the county/city look at them each year for their tax value? Will they appreciate or depreciate ?  If so, how much each year? Is there a leveling off point where they can't go under or above? Any input or real world experience would be greatly appreciated.

@Kyle M. If the mobile homes are not attached to land, they'll be taxes as personal property (versus real property). Regarding the tax amount, it will vary depending on the county. In order to control the amount, you'll need to establish a good relationship with your local county tax assessor. I started protesting taxes every year with mine (per a park manager's suggestion) and successfully lowered them. Good luck!
