Purpose
To designate the owner of a manufactured home community as the assessed person for a designated manufactured home in a manufactured home community.
Summary
Section 304(1)(j)(ii) of the Municipal Government Act (MGA) of Alberta establishes the assessed person of a designated manufactured home on a site in a manufactured home community, and any other improvements located on the site that are owned or occupied by the person occupying the designated manufactured home, to be the owner of the manufactured home community.
Designating the manufactured home community as the assessed person streamlines the tax process by consolidating approximately 800 tax rolls for the manufactured home community into one tax roll.
