Modular/Mobile home purchase claimed as home property tax?

April 28th, 2010 | by admin |

I am in the workings of purchasing a modular home in California, and the space it will sit on it is not owned by me of course. Can this be used as a property tax write off on my next Tax filings?

Any ad valorem property taxes (as well as mortgage interest) on a primary or second home are deductible. A home does not have to be attached to the land to quailify. In fact, it doesn’t even need to be a home in the traditional sense. An RV or boat can qualify if it has cooking, sleeping, and sanitary facilities.

    If this is a new modular, you will get a property tax bill from the county. It is a routine itemized deduction.
