§ 18502 Mobilehome Park Permit Fees

Key Takeaways

  • •You need to pay fees to get permits for building or changing things in mobilehome parks.
  • •There’s a yearly fee of $140 plus $7 for each lot in the park.
  • •An extra $4 per lot goes to checking if the park is safe and follows the rules.
  • •The park owner can charge half of that extra $4 fee to each homeowner.

Example

If you own a mobilehome park with 50 lots, you have to pay fees every year.

You pay $140 plus $7 for each lot (so $350 for 50 lots), plus an extra $4 per lot ($200) for safety checks. You can charge each homeowner $2 (half of the $4) to help cover that extra fee.

Fees as applicable shall be submitted for permits, as follows: (a) Fees for a permit to conduct any construction subject to this part as determined by the schedule of fees adopted by the department. (b) Plan checking fees equal to one-half of the construction, plumbing, mechanical, and electrical permit fees, except that the minimum fee shall be ten dollars ($10). (c) (1) An annual operating permit fee of one hundred forty dollars ($140) and an additional seven dollars ($7) per lot. (2) (A) An additional annual fee of four dollars ($4) per lot shall be paid to the department or the local enforcement agency, as appropriate, at the time of payment of the annual operating fee. All revenues derived from this fee shall be used exclusively for the inspection of mobilehome parks and mobilehomes to determine compliance with the Mobilehome Parks Act (Part 2.1 (commencing with Section 18200)) and any regulations adopted pursuant to the act. (B) The Legislature hereby finds and declares that the health and safety of mobilehome park occupants are matters of public interest and concern and that the fee paid pursuant to subparagraph (A) shall be used exclusively for the inspection of mobilehome parks and mobilehomes to ensure that the living conditions of mobilehome park occupants meet the health and safety standards of this part and the regulations adopted pursuant thereto. Therefore, notwithstanding any other law or local ordinance, rule, regulation, or initiative measure to the contrary, the holder of the permit to operate the mobilehome park shall be entitled to directly charge one-half of the per-lot additional annual fee specified herein to each homeowner, as defined in Section 798.9 of the Civil Code. In that event, the holder of the permit to operate the mobilehome park shall be entitled to directly charge each homeowner for one-half of the per-lot additional annual fee at the next billing for the rent and other charges immediately following the payment of the additional fee to the department or local enforcement agency. (3) The additional annual fee authorized by subdivision (b) of Section 18804 shall be paid to the department at the time of payment of the annual operating fee to the department or local enforcement agency, as appropriate. (d) Change in name fee or transfer of ownership or possession fee of ten dollars ($10). (e) Duplicate permit fee or amended permit fee of ten dollars ($10). (f) This section shall remain in effect only until January 1, 2030, and as of that date is repealed. (Amended (as amended by Stats. 2023, Ch. 737, Sec. 3) by Stats. 2024, Ch. 387, Sec. 4. (AB 2247) Effective January 1, 2025. Repealed as of January 1, 2030, by its own provisions. See later operative version, as amended by Sec. 5 of Stats 2024, Ch. 387.)
