Fire protection fee; extend requirement to manufactured homes

HB 440 amends the law governing fire service fees in Mobile County, Alabama, primarily by expanding the definition of "residence" for fee collection. This bill directly affects property owners in the county by extending the requirement to pay these fees to owners of house trailers, manufactured homes, and lots in residential parks used for motor homes or recreational vehicles as dwellings. These fees are levied to support the establishment and maintenance of firefighting districts. The bill also includes some nonsubstantive updates to the code language.
