SECTION 5810-5813
5810. Except as otherwise provided in this part, manufactured homes shall be subject to property taxation in the same manner and to the same extent, and shall be subject to the other provisions of this division in the same manner and to the same extent as any other personal property on the roll as defined in Section 109. 5811. The amount of local property tax on a manufactured home shall be determined by applying the appropriate assessment ratio and tax rate to the taxable value of the manufactured home. The "appropriate tax rate" is the rate determined under Section 93 for the tax rate area in which the manufactured home is situated. 5812. (a) The base year value of a manufactured home which is purchased or which changed ownership shall be entered on the roll for the lien date next succeeding the date of the purchase or change in ownership. The value of any new construction shall be entered on the roll for the lien date next succeeding the date of completion of the new construction. The value of new construction in progress on the lien date shall be entered on the roll as of the lien date. (b) Except as provided in subdivisions (c) and (d) of Section 5802, a manufactured home that has changed ownership or had new construction completed is subject to supplemental assessment as provided in Section 75.5. 5813. For each lien date after the lien date for which the base year value is determined, the taxable value of a manufactured home shall be the lesser of: (a) Its base year value, compounded annually since the base year by an inflation factor, which shall be the percentage change in the cost of living, as defined in Section 51, provided, that any percentage increase shall not exceed 2 percent of the prior year's value; or (b) Its full cash value, as defined in Section 5803, as of the lien date, taking into account reductions in value due to damage, destruction, depreciation, obsolescence, or other factors causing a decline in value; or (c) If the manufactured home is damaged or destroyed by disaster, misfortune, or calamity, its value determined pursuant to (b) shall be its base year value until the manufactured home is restored, repaired or reconstructed or other provisions of law require establishment of a new base year value.
