CVR 11-020-001 § 3
REGISTRATION
Operative Text
By September 1 of each year, every park owner shall register their mobile home park(s), and pay the annual lot fee if applicable. The Commissioner shall establish the annual lot fee, up to the amount allowed by law, that shall be payable by the park owner for each occupied leased lot in the mobile home park. The fee may be charged to leaseholders, and shall not be deemed a lot rent increase.
Under CVR 11-020-001 § 3, Vermont mobile home park owners are required to register their parks with the state and pay an annual lot fee by September 1 of each year. The Commissioner sets the fee amount, which applies to each occupied leased lot and cannot exceed the ceiling established by law. Although the fee may be passed through to leaseholders, it is explicitly classified as something other than a lot rent increase, meaning it does not trigger rent-increase protections or procedures.
Plain English — not legal advice.
CVR 11-020-001 § 3 places the registration obligation squarely on park owners, who are expected to complete registration and remit the annual lot fee to the state by the September 1 deadline each year. Compliant operators track the number of occupied leased lots, since the Commissioner's fee is calculated on a per-lot basis. If a park owner chooses to pass the fee through to leaseholders, the provision clarifies that doing so does not constitute a lot rent increase, though operators generally document such pass-throughs clearly in communications with residents.

CVR 11-020-001 § 3 gives leaseholders a useful reference point: if a park owner passes the state-mandated annual lot fee on to residents, that charge is legally defined as something separate from a lot rent increase and cannot be treated as one. Tenants who believe a charge labeled as a fee pass-through is actually being used to disguise a rent increase may find it worthwhile to review the Commissioner's published fee schedule to compare the amounts. Tenant-rights organizations in Vermont and the state's mobile home park regulatory office can be resources for understanding how this distinction applies in practice.
