Cal. Civ. Code § SPS 326.20
Other municipal fees.
Operative Text
SPS 326.20 Other municipal fees. A manufactured home community contractor or a manufactured home community operator may pass along to a homeowner a municipal charge imposed on the community or its occupants on a schedule to meet the obligations imposed by the municipality or municipal utility notwithstanding the terms of the lease.
Under Wis. Admin. Code § SPS 326.20, a manufactured home community contractor or operator is permitted to pass certain municipal charges—fees imposed by a local government or municipal utility on the community or its residents—directly to homeowners. This can be done on a payment schedule designed to meet the municipality's or utility's obligations, and this pass-through authority applies even if the existing lease terms would otherwise prevent it. The rule carves out a specific exception to lease restrictions when it comes to these government-imposed charges.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Wis. Admin. Code § SPS 326.20, manufactured home community operators and contractors who receive municipal charges from a local government or municipal utility are generally permitted to pass those costs along to homeowners, even when the lease does not expressly allow for it. Compliant operators typically document the specific municipal charge being passed through, communicate the payment schedule to homeowners clearly, and ensure the amounts collected correspond directly to the obligations imposed by the municipality or utility. Maintaining clear records of the underlying municipal billing helps demonstrate that any pass-through is authorized under this provision.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Wis. Admin. Code § SPS 326.20 gives homeowners in manufactured home communities a basis to examine any additional charges appearing on their bills that are attributed to municipal fees or utility obligations. Even if your lease does not mention such charges, the provision does allow operators to pass along legitimate government-imposed costs—so homeowners may want to request documentation showing the specific municipal charge and the schedule being used to collect it. If a charge seems inconsistent with what a municipality or utility actually imposed, tenant-rights organizations or a Wisconsin legal aid service can help homeowners understand whether the pass-through complies with § SPS 326.20.
