When a Tax Clearance Certificate is requested and existing tax bills are unpaid, outstanding manufactured home property taxes must be paid before issuing a Tax Clearance Certificate.
In addition, on January 1, the Treasurer-Tax Collector is required to estimate the tax liability for the new fiscal year. Payment of the estimated tax liability and the amount of any prior unpaid taxes will be required before the tax clearance can be issued.
If the tax clearance request has been made by an escrow company as a result of a pending sale, the Tax Collector can issue a Conditional Tax Clearance Certificate requiring the estimated tax liability and all existing unpaid property taxes to be collected at the close of escrow and paid to the Tax Collector. Payment of the aforementioned taxes must be received by the Tax Collector prior to the installment due date. The Tax Collector does not pro-rate mobile home property tax bills.
