Mobile Home Tax Settlements

A tax settlement is the disbursement of the collected taxes to the appropriate political entities.  For example, funds would be disbursed to the local township, the local school system and local library. Mobile home taxes are settled and distributed semiannually.

Tax revenue is distributed among the taxing subdivisions in the same ratio they were collected. The taxes collected on the depreciation table are distributed to political entities on the gross rates. The taxes collected on mobile homes that are taxed like real property are distributed on the effective rates. The Auditor’s Office balances the amount collected to the penny in order to ensure that all entities receive the appropriate funds.
