Chapter 16, Section F:
Used Manufactured Home Never Previously Titled
Revised August 28, 2008
It is an unfortunate fact that
many manufactured homes were never properly titled and registered when
they were new.
As a result, when
the current or new owner seeks to reactivate a used manufactured home's
title so that the home can be moved to a new location, we find that no
title exists that we can reactivate.
A title that was never issued cannot be
reactivated. In those
circumstances when a customer needs to title a manufactured home for the
first time and cannot meet the basic requirements, the customer must
provide:
- Proof of ownership
Proof must describe the manufactured home by year, make and VIN.
- Proof that no lien or mortgage
exists
on the manufactured home or on the land on which it sits - must
describe the manufactured home by year, make and VIN
(A letter from the mortgage company stating that they have interest
only in the land and not on the manufactured home will suffice.)
- Letter from Assessor
stating that the manufactured home is assessed as personal
property - must describe home by year, make and VIN
- Tax Release from Treasurer or
Assessor
If complete documentation cannot be
produced, a surety bond process may be required. |
