Mobile Home Tax Clearance Certificate
Since your mobile home is currently on the tax roll, one of the documents you will be required to provide to H.C.D. is a Mobile Home Tax Clearance Certificate. This is issued by the Treasurer-Tax Collector's Department and is valid for 60 days. There is no cost for the initial certificate, but a $25 fee is charged for reissued documents. Therefore, we recommended that you wait until after you receive the packet from H.C.D. before requesting the original tax clearance. All current and delinquent taxes must be paid before a Tax Clearance Certificate can be issued. In addition, estimated taxes for the next tax year will be collected, when warranted, based on current assessed values.
