Arizona Supreme Court

In Re: Steven R. Drummond, Mary A. Drummond

February 23, 2024543 P.3d 1022

Summary

The court answered the certified question by holding that a motor home used as a residence by an adult does not qualify as a "mobile home" under Arizona's homestead-exemption statute. Reading the statute in its broader statutory context, the court concluded that the exemption covers a permanent dwelling physically connected to land, whereas a motor home is designed to be readily movable and is not significantly anchored to land.
