Manufactured home property tax is a tax paid for manufactured and mobile homes that do not meet the qualifications necessary to be taxed as permanent real estate. It is billed for the current year as opposed to real estate which is billed a year in arrears. First half manufactured home property tax is due March 2nd and second half is due July 31st. Manufactured home tax is similar to real estate tax.
The Stark County Auditor assesses each manufactured home in the county. If the manufactured home is in Stark County as of January 1 of the current year, taxes are due to Stark County. The taxes are strictly on the manufactured home. The property owner is billed separately for their real estate tax. The Ohio Revised Code states that taxes must be paid for the whole year before we can apply the transfer stamp to the face of the title.
