County Can't Tax Trailers Says Bosch
Butler County faces limits under current building code as prosecutor Jackson Bosch says further controls on house trailers are not possible. He will ask health authorities to study the issue next week and a proposed license registration fee could raise about 5000 dollars for an estimated 1000 trailers. Nonresidents using trailers as homes would avoid the levy. Any direct tax would need state-law change.
