I own a trailer used for camping and recreational travel that is pulled by a motor vehicle. Can it qualify as my residence?

A trailer (camper) that is pulled by a motor vehicle that:

  • Is used as a primary or secondary residence; and
  • Is eligible for the mortgage interest deduction on a federal tax return; and
  • Has a bathroom, sleeping and cooking facilities, is eligible to be taxed as a residence. (Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Publication 936 - Qualified Home Section) However, the taxes are still due in advance, as for personal property, and to be taxed as a residence an application must be made with the County Auditor.
