§ 57-55-04 — Taxes - How determined - Disbursement

The director of tax equalization shall determine the tax for each mobile home by placing an
evaluation on the mobile home based upon its assessed value and by adjusting the valuation of
the mobile home by the percentage provided in section 57-02-27 to determine its taxable
valuation under standards and guides determined by the state tax commissioner and applying
that evaluation to the preceding year's total mill levies applying to property within the taxing
district in which the mobile home is located. The county treasurer shall provide a tax statement
for each mobile home subject to taxation under this chapter, including three columns showing,
for the taxable year to which the tax statement applies and the two immediately preceding
taxable years, the property tax levy in dollars against the mobile home by the county and school
district and any city or township that levied taxes against the mobile home. If a mobile home is
acquired or moved into this state during the calendar year and a tax permit has not been
previously issued for such mobile home in this state for such year, the tax is determined by
computing the remaining number of months of the current year to the nearest full month and
multiplying that number by one-twelfth of the amount which would be due for the full year. The
taxes collected under this chapter must be disbursed in the same year they are collected and in
the same manner as real estate taxes for the preceding year are disbursed.
