This bill, if passed, would amend Section 44-7-28 of the General Laws in Chapter 44-7 to allow the towns of Glocester, Coventry, and Burrillville to place a tax lien on mobile or manufactured homes. The lien would arise and attach as of the date of assessment of the taxes and would terminate after twenty years. The lien would be superior to any other lien, encumbrance, or interest in the home. The bill also states that the taxes may be collected and the lien may be enforced in the same manner as real estate taxes, with no additional fees, charges, assessments, or penalties.

This bill aims to provide a more efficient way to enforce tax liens on mobile and manufactured homes in Coventry by allowing the town to enforce the lien in the same manner as used to collect real estate taxes. The bill would take effect upon passage.
