Treasurer: Mobile Home Tax

There are approximately 1400 mobile homes in Peoria County. In accordance with Illinois law, tax bills are issued to mobile home owners based on the age of the home and the square footage of the home. Failure to pay mobile home taxes results in a lien being filed against the owner, not the mobile home, with the Peoria County recorder.

The due date for the 2009 Mobile Home Tax is 05/1/09.

When paying taxes to transfer titles, you must pay by certified check, cashier check, money order or cash.

Assessment Period

Owners of mobile homes on January 1st of each year are responsible for the tax. The tax is computed by multiplying the rate (based on the age of the mobile home) times the square footage.
