ABOUT THE AUTHORITY
Due to recent changes in the law governing manufactured home land
lease communities per 25 Del Code Chapter 70, known as the
Manufactured Home Owners and Community Owners Act, community owners
and operators are now required to submit a special assessment for the
sole purpose of assisting residents and community owners when a
change in the use of the land requires termination of the existing
rental agreement. This law requires a $3.00 per month assessment
per leased lot be submitted to the Delaware Division of Revenue on a
quarterly basis, to be held in trust as the Delaware Manufactured
Home Relocation Trust Fund.
The Trust Fund is administered by the non-profit Delaware Manufactured Home
Relocation Authority, which is comprised of a non-compensated Board of
Directors appointed by the Governor from among community owners and residents.
Additionally, the Trust Fund is to be used solely for the purposes as set
forth in the Manufactured Home Owners and Community Owners Act and must be
fiscally revenue-neutral.
