• How California’s mobile home tax amnesty program works

  All mobile homes, regardless of age, must be registered with the California Department of Housing and Urban Development.
  But state housing officials estimate a third of all 520,000 mobile homes in California don’t have proper title and registration.
  In the past, current owners wishing to get their homes registered had to pay back taxes, fees and penalties before getting a new title.
  To get as many mobile homes as possible back on the tax rolls, the Legislature passed a law in 2016 temporar

  A: Exclusive-use common area is defined by Civil Code Section 4145 as a portion of common area dedicated by the CC&Rs to the use of a single owner or group of owners. So, the club storage space, unless it was mentioned in the CC&Rs, would ordinarily not be considered exclusive use, but instead, is a common area allocated by board permission.
