Annually Assessed Mobile Homes

Valuation

A mobile/modular home (MH) not on a permanent foundation is assessed on an annual basis. 

To determine the value of MHs, we use National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA) guidelines based on year, model and square footage, as well as exterior features. 

Reporting to County Assessor

A person who permits a mobile home to be placed on any land, which he/she owns or possesses, shall report that fact to the County Assessor within 10 days after the MH is placed on the land.

Owner's Responsibilities

It is the current owner's responsibility to obtain a permit from the County Treasurer if the home is to be moved or if the title is to be transferred to a new owner.

It is the owner's responsibility to keep any deductions (homestead, mortgage, etc.) current with the Auditors Office.

Vehicle Identification Numbers

Due to new changes in the law, the Huntington County Assessor's Office is requesting all MH owners to turn in a vehicle identification number (VIN) as soon as possible.
