It is a requirement of the county so that it can be taxed. Anything that is considered a home cannot be hooked up to electricity in that county unless it has a tax number. Just one more way they use to tax us to death.

Because you are the user of the power, not the person to which the lease belongs, especially if the owner of the lease has never requested a power line. It’s sort of like paying the electric bill for an apartment that someone else owns, but that you live in.

Should have had the electricity run first for farm use. Then get a good heavy duty extension. Talk to an licensed electrician. Ask others how they got power to their camps. It may make a difference if it is an RV/trailer vs. a true mobile home. If it is a true mobile home (permanent) you may be required to pay some form of property tax.

Because it can operate on a road. Same reason you have to pay taxes on an automobile even if you don’t drive it on the road.

This is really not a hunting question. Call your local tax assessor or town council and electric company.
