TO AMEND SECTION 12-37-224, CODE OF LAWS OF SOUTH CAROLINA, 1976, RELATING TO THE CLASSIFICATION OF A MOTOR HOME FOR PURPOSES OF PROPERTY TAX, SO AS TO PROVIDE THAT A TRAVEL TRAILER WITH SLEEPING, COOKING, AND BATHROOM FACILITIES IS CONSIDERED TO BE A PRIMARY OR SECOND RESIDENCE AND IS CONSIDERED REAL PROPERTY FOR PROPERTY TAX PURPOSES.

SECTION 1. Section 12-37-224 of the 1976 Code is amended to read:

"Section 12-37-224. (A) A motor home on which the interest portion of indebtedness is deductible pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code as an interest expense on a qualified primary or second residence is also a primary or second residence for purposes of ad valorem property taxation in this State and is considered real property rather than personal property for property tax purposes.

(B) A travel trailer, as defined in Section 31-17-510(a), that has sleeping, cooking, and bathroom facilities is also a primary or second residence for purposes of ad valorem property taxation in this State and is considered real property rather than personal property for property tax purposes."
