(d) The base year value of a manufactured home that changes ownership in the same calendar year after a conversion in the same calendar year, shall be its full cash value on the date of the change in ownership and its value shall be enrolled on the next lien date. The change in ownership is not subject to supplemental assessment as provided in Section 75.5.
