 13 18 a disability prior to the approval of the state employee's
 13 19 benefits under this section, regardless of whether the United
 13 20 States social security administration records the benefits
 13 21 to the social security number of the adult child with a

 52 33 and installed according to the same standards, including but
 52 34 not limited to, a permanent foundation system, set=back, and

 53 20 purpose of moving to a permanent site, and which does not have
 53 21 permanently attached to its body or frame any wheels or axles.
 53 22 This section shall not be construed as abrogating a recorded
 53 23 restrictive covenant.

 53 25 building, or design ordinances, regulations, requirements, or
 53 26 restrictions which would mandate width standards greater than
 53 27 twenty=four feet, roof pitch, or other design standards for
 53 28 manufactured housing if the housing otherwise complies with 42
 53 29 U.S.C. {5403. However, this paragraph subsection shall not

 54 14 regulations or other ordinances which disallow or make

 56 16 instrument, or writing is executed and tendered for recording

 56 18 no tax.
 56 19    (2)  When there is consideration and the actual market value
 56 20 of the real property transferred is in excess of five hundred
 56 21 dollars, the tax is eighty cents for each five hundred dollars
 56 22 or fractional part of five hundred dollars in excess of five

 57 28 value information the director of revenue requires for the
 57 29 production of the sales/assessment ratio study and transmit
 57 30 all declarations of value to the city or county assessor in

 58  2 retain one copy of each declaration of value for three years
 58  3 from December 31 of the year in which the transfer of realty
 58  4 for which the declaration was filed took place. The director
 58  5 of revenue shall, upon receipt of the information required to
 58  6 be filed under this chapter by the city or county assessor,
 58  7 send to the office of the secretary of state that part of the
 58  8 declaration of value which identifies a corporation, limited
