The transportation package that was passed by the Virginia General Assembly and signed into law by Governor Bob McDonnell includes tax increases that go into effect July 1, 2013. The titling tax for manufactured homes remains at $10, but the retail sales and use tax, which covers modular homes, will increase from five percent state wide to six percent for Hampton Roads and Northern Virginia. The increase will be .3 percent for the remainder of the state. One percent of the total is a local tax, as the Virginia Manufactured and Modular Housing Association (VAMMHA) informs MHProNews.
