Sec. 158.101. EXEMPTIONS. (a) There are exempted from the taxes imposed by this chapter the sales price of a manufactured home sold, shipped, or consigned to, or the use or occupancy of any manufactured home by: (1) the United States or its unincorporated agencies or instrumentalities; (2) any incorporated agency or instrumentality of the United States wholly owned by the United States or by a corporation wholly owned by the United States; (3) this state or its unincorporated agencies or instrumentalities; (4) any county, city or town, special district, or other political subdivision of this state; or (5) any organization created for religious, educational, charitable, or eleemosynary purposes, provided that no part of the net earnings of any such organization inures to the benefit of any private shareholder or individual, and provided that the use of the manufactured home is related to the purpose of the organization. (b) If a person certifies in writing by using an exemption certificate that the person is exempt under this section and that the manufactured home will be used in a manner or for a purpose exempted from the tax, and the person then uses the manufactured home in another manner or for another purpose, the person is liable for the tax. The cost of the manufactured home to the person is the sales price for purposes of determining the amount of tax for which the person is liable.
