(a) In addition to the annual registration fee required by Section 18114, an annual fee of five dollars ($5) shall be paid to the department at the time of registration or renewal for each transportable section of a manufactured home or mobilehome registered pursuant to this part. All revenues derived from this fee shall be deposited in the Mobilehome Park Rehabilitation and Purchase Fund provided for in Chapter 11 (commencing with Section 50780) of Part 2 of Division 31.

(b) Any transportable section of a manufactured home or mobilehome registered pursuant to this part and located on a private parcel owned by the registered owner of the manufactured home or mobilehome shall be exempt from the fee imposed by subdivision (a), if the owner provides documentation or a written statement, signed under penalty of perjury, which establishes to the satisfaction of the department that the manufactured home or mobilehome is located on a private parcel owned by the registered owner of the manufactured home or mobilehome.

(c) Pursuant to subdivision (b), upon renewal of registration in 1989, or thereafter, once the registered owner provides documentation or a written statement to the department to establish the exemption, the department shall not require the owner to establish the exemption in each subsequent year upon renewal, unless the department receives evidence that the manufactured home or mobilehome is no longer located on a private parcel owned by the registered owner of the home. Renewal forms for registered owners of manufactured homes or mobilehomes who have established the exemption shall not reflect or include the fee required pursuant to subdivision (a).
