(1) If a mobile home owner is required to move due to a change in use of the land comprising a mobile home park as set forth in s. 723.061(1)(d), the mobile home park owner shall, upon such change in use, pay to the Florida Mobile Home Relocation Corporation for deposit in the Florida Mobile Home Relocation Trust Fund $2,750 for each single-section mobile home and $3,750 for each multisection mobile home for which a mobile home owner has made application for payment of moving expenses. The mobile home park owner shall make the payments required by this section and by s. 723.0612(7) to the corporation within 30 days after receipt from the corporation of the invoice for payment.

(b) If payment is not submitted within 60 days after receipt of the invoice, a 15-percent late fee shall be assessed. (c) If payment is not submitted within 90 days after receipt of the invoice, a 20-percent late fee shall be assessed. (d) Any payment received 120 days or more after receipt of the invoice shall include a 25-percent late fee. (2) A mobile home park owner is not required to make the payment prescribed in subsection (1), nor is the mobile home owner entitled to compensation under s. 723.0612(1), when: (a) The mobile home park owner moves a mobile home owner to another space in the mobile home park or to another mobile home park at the park owner’s expense; (b) A mobile home owner is vacating the premises and has informed the mobile home park owner or manager before the change in use notice has been given; or (c) A mobile home owner abandons the mobile home as set forth in s. 723.0612(7). (d) The mobile home owner has a pending eviction action for nonpayment of lot rental amount pursuant to s. 723.061(1)(a) which was filed against him or her prior to the mailing date of the notice of change in use of the mobile home park given pursuant to s. 723.061(1)(d). (3) This section and s. 723.0612(7) are enforceable by the corporation by action in a court of appropriate jurisdiction. (4) In any action brought by the corporation to collect payments assessed under this chapter, the corporation may file and maintain such action in Leon County. If the corporation is a party in any other action, venue for such action shall be in Leon County.
Florida Statute § 723.06116 establishes a mandatory payment system that applies when a mobile home park owner changes the use of the land, forcing mobile home residents to relocate. Under this rule, the park owner must pay the Florida Mobile Home Relocation Corporation $2,750 for each single-section mobile home and $3,750 for each multisection mobile home whose owner has applied for moving-expense assistance. Payments are due within 30 days of receiving an invoice from the corporation, and escalating late fees — ranging from 10% to 25% — apply if payment is delayed. Certain situations, such as the park owner relocating a resident at the owner's own expense or a resident having already decided to vacate before the change-in-use notice, exempt the park owner from this obligation.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Fla. Stat. § 723.06116, mobile home park owners who trigger a change-in-use relocation are generally expected to submit the required per-home payments to the Florida Mobile Home Relocation Corporation promptly upon receiving an invoice, well within the 30-day window to avoid late fees. Compliant operators typically track invoice receipt dates carefully, since the late-fee schedule escalates at 30, 60, 90, and 120 days and can add up to 25% on top of the base payment. Park owners also commonly document situations that may qualify for an exemption — such as relocating a resident to another space at the park owner's expense or a resident's pre-notice decision to vacate — since those circumstances can eliminate the payment obligation under this section.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Fla. Stat. § 723.06116 gives mobile home owners displaced by a park's change in land use the right to have their park owner contribute to the Florida Mobile Home Relocation Trust Fund on their behalf, provided the resident has applied for moving-expense assistance. If a park owner fails to make the required payment, the Florida Mobile Home Relocation Corporation has the authority to pursue enforcement through the courts, including in Leon County. Residents who believe a park owner is not complying with this section may consider reaching out to the Florida Mobile Home Relocation Corporation directly, consulting a tenant-rights organization familiar with mobile home park law, or exploring whether a legal action is appropriate given their circumstances.
