2023 Oklahoma Statutes › Title 68. Revenue and Taxation › §68-2811. Manufactured homes not registered or assessed for ad valorem taxation - Listing and assessment - Proof of registration and payment of taxes - Exemptions.

A. Upon locating a manufactured home which is not registered as required pursuant to the provisions of Title 47 of the Oklahoma Statutes or is not listed and assessed for ad valorem taxation pursuant to the provisions of the Ad Valorem Tax Code, the county assessor of the county in which the manufactured home is located shall list and assess the manufactured home, and place the home on the tax rolls as required by law. The county assessor shall cause such manufactured home to be entered on the assessment rolls and tax rolls for the year or years not to exceed three (3) years omitted pursuant to the provisions of Section 2844 of this title whether or not such manufactured home had situs in such county on January 1 of the year in which the manufactured home was located. No manufactured home shall be entered upon the assessment roll of any county for an assessment year in which the manufactured home was previously assessed for ad valorem taxation in such county or any other county of this state. The county assessor may use the following method to determine the fair cash value of such a manufactured home:
1. If a bill of sale is provided to the county assessor, the actual consideration reflected thereon may be used as the fair cash value; or
2. If a bill of sale is not provided to the county assessor, the total delivered price may be used as the fair cash value, depreciated at a rate of ten percent (10%) per year for the first three (3) years of age of such manufactured home and at a rate of three percent (3%) per year for each year thereafter until accumulated depreciation shall equal eighty percent (80%), after which the depreciated fair cash value shall remain at such level.
B. The county assessor of the county in which a manufactured home is located shall require satisfactory proof of registration, payment of ad valorem taxes and excise taxes on a manufactured home. An ad valorem tax receipt for a manufactured home presented as evidence of payment of ad valorem taxes for such home shall be conclusive as to proper payment of ad valorem taxes upon such home for all assessment years preceding the year of the receipt by the county issuing such receipt.
C. Any person owning a manufactured home and refusing to show satisfactory proof of registration of such manufactured home pursuant to the provisions of this section or payment of ad valorem taxes pursuant to the provisions of the Ad Valorem Tax Code upon demand by the county assessor of the county in which the manufactured home is located, upon conviction, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor.
D. A used manufactured home held for resale, on a sales lot, by a licensed manufactured housing dealer on January 1, shall be exempt from ad valorem taxation and the dealer shall be required to obtain a current certificate of title and registration decal for the manufactured home. A purchaser of a used manufactured home held for resale for which a certificate of title and registration decal has been obtained shall provide to the county assessor of the county in which the home is to be located the information specified in subsection G of Section 2813 of this title. The manufactured home shall not be subject to ad valorem taxation until the first January 1 date following the date of purchase.
