TRD regulation 18.19.3.72 provides that:

The owner of a housing structure, title to which had been issued pursuant to the Motor Vehicle Code as a manufactured home and which title is deactivated, may request that the title issued pursuant to the Motor Vehicle Code be reactivated. The department shall reactivate the title as a manufactured home pursuant to the provisions of the Motor Vehicle Code and reissue it to the owner only upon receipt of documentation that all liens or mortgages against the housing structure and the land upon which it is affixed have been released. The department shall notify the valuation authority that the title has been reactivated.
