SHORE VILLAS DWELLING TAX APPEAL
We the undersigned, residents of Shore Villas, request that the dwelling portion of the tax assessment recently imposed for the 2019/2020 tax year be removed for those residents occupying a manufactured home.
Pursuant to Title 54 section 54:4-1.5 of the NJ Tax Statute, section a, paragraph 2 which states that in order for the manufactured home to be subject to taxation it must be habitable as a dwelling on a permanent basis.
Our pipes are above ground requiring that our water service be terminated at the end of October and not restored until the beginning of May. This fact disqualifies us from the above mentioned statute as we are unable to occupy the dwelling on a permanent basis.
We therefore request that the dwelling assessment be removed from our tax liability.

not only is the water shut down 6 months of the year but no one in shore villas have the opportunity to send their children to local schools Seaside Park provides Fire and ambulance service not Berkeley
These are trailers for summer use only. There is no water hook up for 6 months. Berkeley is getting a good deal collecting sewer fees for the winter when these trailers are not un use. NOT PERMANENT.
I am the owner of trailer 22 Fifteenth St. Because of issues with water pipes, we only have water during spring and summer-- 6 months. We therefore cannot use this as a permanent address. In addition, we could at any time move 'our motor vehicle titled trailer' at any time. Add such we should not be taxed as recently billed. Thank you, Donna Costabile
Block 1722. Lot 3. Qual C.90 My Park home is registered As a motor vehicle in NC. It is not habitable as a dwelling on a permanent basis. Water is turned off Oct to May. This statute disqualifies me from the building g assessment.
We are not year round residences, we are not able to send our children to the Berkeley schools, park model trailers are not permanent structures, our trailers have a motor vehicle title. Charging our trailers as if they were a building is wrong.
Its quite obvious we are not a permanent structure when the association can request the removal of a mobile home because of age or neglecting to maintain it properly. They are removable because they are on wheels. Unfortunately we cant request removal of a dilapidated home we have to simply live with it.
That's the out . lawyer should definetly take this up
