Manufactured home title

Asked Feb 27, 2007, 01:56 PM — 22 Answers
My mortgage company states they do not have a title for my manufactured home and neither do I. The NCDOT states that a title was never filed with them. The place where I bought my home is no longer in business. I am wanting to sell my home but can't without a title. What are my options?

This Ohio BMV site does not work for searching for VIN or S/N's of Mobile Homes. The ONLY way you can access these records would be in person at the Ohio DMV office. Mobile Home title information is not available on line to the general public. Do not be mislead on this.

I currently have a mortgage on my home & I just went through a divorce. I have a singlewide as a rental, which was paid off by my current lender when I purchased my doublewide. I used my land as collateral. During the divorce I presented the title to my ex-husband to have him sign it over to me. He did & after going to the DMV, I realized that I actually have the title to the doublewide of the home I live in now w/ the lien on it. The title is now just titled in my name though the DMV & shows no lien. What does any of this mean, if anything? THe title was suppose to be retired when I settled when the home was purchased. I want to use this as leverage with the bank to get my home refinanced since I am having trouble doing so on my own w/ the economy the way it is. If I don't refinance soon my ex is forcing me to sell the home & land.

I have a similar problem only in Colorado you have to through DMV you get it titled then in turn they send it to another company to process it but recently after two frustrating and aggravating months I called to find out the status was told that the lien-holder sold the lien to someone else...I call the bank to get information only eight depts later find out they can't find anything about the mobile home...argh! Now I am sitting here still owning this mh in the county's eyes but cna't sell because the state has rejected my application due to some foul up on someone's part.

I've noticed a lot of questions that involve searching for serial numbers and VINs. All mobile homes are sold with a plate installed on the exterior (usually at the rear of the home at a height just above the interior floor) that indicates the manufacturer's name, date of manufacture, serial number and decal number. It's a terrible hassle if these are ever removed (happens a lot when a home is painted). If the plate is removed you can often find some of the required info painted or "scratched" on the chassis in front near the frame that attaches the "tongue" (of course this is under the house behind the skirting).

Good luck and I really hope that you all still have those ID plates on your homes!

Go down to the county offices and talk with the department who issues permits for mobile homes to be placed in their county. By law no home mover will move a MH without the permit so you may be in luck. Also, the tax assessors office may have info on taxes paid on your mh over the years and have a s/n for it. There has to be something down at the county that shows this home is on that piece of ground even if you are on private land or in a park.

Also, there is another place to look for the s/n in the home. There is a white sheet that is sometimes posted in the kitchen in one of the upper cabinets by the stove area or in the master bedroom closet. It has a big map of the US on it showing the wind and snow load of the home. Hopefully your home is not too old and that the paper is still there. It will have the name of the company who manufactured it and the date and s/n on it.

If you have no title for the home just HOW did you purchase it? And from whom?
