AI Summary

  • Adds "park model units" to the definition of property subject to Arkansas sales tax calculation methods, alongside manufactured homes, modular homes, and mobile homes under state tax code § 26-52-514(a)

  • Requires sellers of park model units to obtain permits and report sales to the Department of Finance and Administration, including invoices, purchaser information, and unit specifications

  • Imposes sales tax on initial sales of park model units at 62% of the acquisition price; exempts subsequent sales and mobile homes from tax
