PERSONAL PROPERTY
Definition: Movable structures over thirty -two feet long and eight feet wide
are considered Mobile Homes. These structures are available in widths from ten
feet to thirty feet. Double wide is the term used to describe a mobile consisting

time dwellings when necessary utilities hookups are available.
Sizes: Mobile Homes are usually described in terms of width and length, i.e.
12' X 60', 24' X 52', etc. The overall length of a Mobile Home, as used in
practice, includes the length of the tow bar, normally about four feet long.

useable area of 672 square feet.

furnished, furniture is not included in the foregoing schedules. Any additions as
well as utilities hook -ups are to be priced separately. Costs are based on the
actual square foot area; Example: The listed length for a mobile home when
sold may be 12' x 60' but the actual length will be 12' x 56' with an area of
672 s /f.
