WHY PURGE A MOBILE HOME TITLE?
The owner of a mobile home upon the destruction or dismantling of the mobile home or upon it being sold or otherwise disposed of as salvage shall surrender the title along with a request that the manufactured home title be purged from the records. If a lien holder exists, a consent or request must accompany the release. Violation of this statute is a Class 1 petty offense. If the owner of any manufactured home permanently affixes the home to the ground and it is no longer capable of being drawn over the public highways, may surrender his certificate of title thereto and file with both the county and state. The home will then be assessed as real property by the assessor.
