Ariz. Rev. Stat. § 33-1476.02
Mobile home relocation fund; investment of monies
Operative Text
A. The mobile home relocation fund is established consisting of monies collected pursuant to sections 33-1476.03 and 33-2151 and any surcharge collected pursuant to section 33-1437. The director shall administer the fund. B. Fund monies shall be used as prescribed in sections 33-1476.04 and 41-4008 and to pay premiums and other costs of purchasing, from a private insurer who is licensed to transact insurance business in this state, insurance coverage for tenant relocation costs due to a change in use as prescribed in sections 33-1476.01, 33-1476.05, 33-2149 and 33-2150. Any insurance rebates shall be deposited in the fund. If such insurance is not available, or if the insurance costs exceed the amount available from the fund, the fund shall be used to make direct payments for tenant relocation costs. Monies in the fund in excess of the amount required for these purposes shall be used, as necessary, to support the Arizona department of housing's administration of the hearing function pursuant to section 41-4062 and the Arizona department of housing's administration of section 33-1437, subsection C. C. On notice from the director, the state treasurer shall invest and divest monies in the fund as provided by section 35-313, and monies earned from investment shall be credited to the fund. Any unexpended and unencumbered monies remaining in the fund at the end of the fiscal year do not revert to the state general fund but remain in the fund, separately accounted for, as a contingency reserve. D. The director shall adopt, amend or repeal rules pursuant to title 41, chapter 6 for the administration of the fund. Fund monies shall be paid to the Arizona department of housing to offset the costs of administering the fund, including the direct and indirect costs of processing applications for reimbursement submitted under section 41-4008 and administering the direct and indirect costs of section 33-1437, subsection C. The attorney general shall review the costs charged to the fund.
A.R.S. § 33-1476.02 establishes the Mobile Home Relocation Fund in Arizona, which is funded through fees and surcharges collected under related statutes. The fund is primarily used to cover tenant relocation costs when a mobile home park changes its use, either by purchasing insurance from a licensed private insurer or by making direct payments when insurance is unavailable or insufficient. Excess monies in the fund may support the Arizona Department of Housing's administrative and hearing functions, and all fund investments are managed by the state treasurer, with unspent balances carrying over year to year rather than reverting to the general fund.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under A.R.S. § 33-1476.02, mobile home park operators should be aware that the relocation fund is supported in part by surcharges and fees tied to park operations and change-of-use events. Compliant operators generally ensure that any required surcharges under the referenced statutes are collected and remitted as required, since those contributions directly fund the relocation assistance mechanism. Operators involved in a change-of-use conversion should understand that the fund—and any insurance purchased through it—is the designated vehicle for covering tenant relocation costs under this framework.

A.R.S. § 33-1476.02 establishes a dedicated fund designed to help mobile home park tenants cover relocation costs when a park undergoes a change in use. Tenants facing displacement may be entitled to payments drawn from this fund, either through an insurance policy the state purchases on their behalf or through direct fund disbursements if insurance is unavailable. Tenants who believe they qualify for relocation assistance can explore the application process administered by the Arizona Department of Housing or consult a tenant-rights organization familiar with mobile home park law for general guidance on available paths.
