Bill > HF2965

This bill modifies existing Minnesota law regarding manufactured home parks by adding new requirements for notice letters sent by the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency to manufactured home park owners. Specifically, the bill requires that these annual assessment letters now include information about a tax credit available for sales of manufactured home parks to cooperatives, notice requirements for unsolicited sales, and potentially additional programs and resources for manufactured home park residents and owners. The bill maintains the existing annual $15 assessment per licensed lot in manufactured home parks when the trust fund balance falls below $2 million, but enhances the communication and transparency around this assessment. The letter must be sent by July 31, with a payment deadline of October 31, and must include a mandatory notice to residents in at least 14-point font emphasizing that the fee is not optional. Park owners are still permitted to recoup the assessment cost from residents through a monthly fee of up to $1.25, and they can adjust their payment based on vacant or ineligible lots. The overall goal appears to be improving communication and financial support for manufactured home park residents during potential park closures or conversions.
