DANVILLE, ILLINOIS IS CONFUSED ABOUT MODULAR HOMES

Here we go again.  The County Assessor for Danville, IL is looking into the way taxes are paid by manufactured, modular and panelized home owners.

A lawsuit has been filed about a "Privilege Tax" that is enjoyed by about 160 manufactured home owners.  The Assessor wants to change this and the whole county is up in arms as it may raise property taxes for everyone.

The real problem is that the TV reporter covering this news has indicated that ALL system built homes in the county are being equated with the double wide homes.

If he is accurate, then the law is screwed up and if he is ignorant about the differences, as most reporters are, then he is spreading some false statements about our industry.  Either way, the people of Illinois are opening a hornets nest with this lawsuit.
