A Prime Example: The FMO has successfully advocated in the state legislature to ensure that PERMANENT MOBILE HOME OWNERS are exempt from paying Sales Tax on their monthly lot rent. This highlights the crucial role the FMO plays in protecting our interests.
If your lot rent is $850.00 each month, that totals to $10,200.00 annually. With a sales tax of 7%, you would pay around $59.50 monthly or $714.00 yearly (nearly equivalent to one month’s rent!). For just $40.00 per household each year, you can become a member of the FMO, ensuring that your concerns are voiced at the state level. By addressing that one issue alone, you could save $674.00 annually. Think about joining the FMO before the opportunity slips away!
If you didn't include your spouse's name on your lease with ELS when you first signed it, now is the perfect moment to make that change. If you're not on the lease and your spouse sadly passes away, you'll need to sign a new lease with ELS at the current market value, which is often significantly higher.
To prevent any issues, the Management is collaborating with the HOA to permit spouses to be included on the existing lease. Simply visit the Main Office (up Front) and request to be added. You might need to present some form of verification, but the specific requirements will vary based on Management’s discretion for each case. TAKE ACTION TODAY!!!
