Moving a Mobile Home Requires Pre-Departure Taxes
A Bennington couple faced fines and taxes when attempting to move a mobile home to New York. Town treasurer Alma Langlois and attorney Norton Barber explain state law requires all taxes to be paid before a trailer can leave town, with assessment in both towns if moved in April. Hoosick’s town clerk notes May 1 is the NY assessment date, meaning April movers owe a year in both locales regardless of prior payments.
