2026 Consumer Price Index Rent Adjustment for 2027 Mobile Home Space Rents

Dear Mobile Home Park Owner/Manager:

Under the terms of Chapter 13.32 of the Santa Cruz County Code (Rental Adjustment

Procedures for Mobile Home Parks), park owners may make adjustments to space rents once each year.

Section 13.32.030(D)(3) of the Santa Cruz County Code allows a park owner to adjust the

rents in their park by an amount equal to or less than fifty percent (50%) of the percentage change in the San Francisco-Oakland Consumer Price Index – All Urban Consumers Category between July 1, 1981 and July 1st of the year before the rent adjustment will go into effect. A copy of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for June 2026, as reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, can be found on the back of this page. The allowable CPI adjustment for 2027 mobile home space rents is determined to be 157.52% or less, calculated as follows:

2027 CPI Mobile Home Space Rent Adjustment Calculation

July 1, 2026 (for use in 2027) 1,137.217 (Adjusted Index)
July 1, 1981 (for use in 1982) - 274.000 (Adjusted Index)
863.217

863.217 Total CPI Increase

(863.217 divided by 274.000) x 100 = 315.0427% (Percentage Increase)
Fifty percent of 315.0427% = 157.52% (2027 CPI Rent Adjustment)

The CPI adjustment, when multiplied by and then added to the 1982 base rent, becomes

part of an allowable 2027general rent adjustment.

Sincerely,

Kaite McGrew

Commissions Manager
