I've been to dmv 2 times and called the tax assessors office both are saying to go back to the other one but we pay our taxes on it through homestead exemption every year

Mobile home titles are usually issued through the DMV.

It was previously attached to the land. There is no more "title" if all the taxes are being paid though the property tax (thus homestead exemption) It is just merely part of the land now (like a house)

This should have been done, on the deed to the property. Check the recorder of Deeds to see if and how this was done years ago.
That will not give you a title, but will show what happened to it.

Assuming there is or was a title, many areas and states do not, or did not that many years ago, issue titles on mobile homes.

If there was a actual title, it would have been filed at the DMV, they do the titles.

Essentially correct. If the mobile home is permanently a part of the land, the property tax assessor should show the MH as a part of the real property. If so, OP doesn't need a separate title document unless he or she wants to sell the MH separately from the land.

I don't know how making the MH a part of the realty would have been "done, on the deed to the property", but this should answer OP's question.
