Nothing. You just can't move it.

Back when I was first married we lived in a mobile home park. I was a student and we were kinda broke (DH did work full time but I didn't have a job at that time) and it was the best day of my life when a guy knocked on the door and asked to buy the wheels off the trailer. half an hour later he left with the wheels and I had $200 cash in my hand!

The trailer was nice, and many of them are just like a ranch house. I'd live in one, so long as the park is kept up. That lot rent is not bad since it includes water, etc. Here in my state instead of property tax you renew the vehicle tags on the trailer. I wonder how Nevada does it?

I lived in one and I lived in Tornado Alley at the time. We were just fine

Our house down here in 1955 is technically a mobile but is more manufactured housing brought in on wheels then set up solid....its not in a 'park' but in a mobile/manfactured developement [not sure if that revokes it's MAGNAT status or not.....the only problem is that mobile/manufactured tends to have mobile home fixtures....i.e. a 5" deep kitchen sink [disappears tomorrow in favor of a deep sink] and narrow bathtubs....[disappearing as we speak in favor of full sized walk in showers]
It makes me wonder.....having seen the size of some of the mobile home dwellers [Honey Boo Boo's parents] WHY the manufacturers make doll house sized appliances?

If in a park or on wheels you renew the tags...if on foundation or pylons without wheels and you own the land you pay property taxes.....AZ is the same

If the home is declared affixed on the title for the property you pay taxes on both, a lot of retirees know the trick is to never permanently affix their home (even though the axles were removed and it's anchored to a foundation and no longer mobile). Their property taxes are therefore dirt cheap!
