• Before moving your home, contact the county where you plan to relocate it to confirm that it meets all local requirements and regulations.

• To update the address on your manufactured home title, you must provide proof that the home is installed at the new location.

Start by confirming who the current bank of record is, as many banks have been acquired by others. The acquiring bank can usually provide a Letter of No Interest with the home’s serial number.

If the bank is truly closed and not acquired, contact the FDIC at (888) 206-4662 for proof the institution is permanently closed.

Please note:

• A branch does not mean the bank is out of business, so attempts to contact closed branches are not accepted. 
• “Attempts to contact” may be acceptable for private individuals or trusts, but not for banks. 

• Perform a Title Search on our website to determine if the title has been issued. Title search information is updated in real time.

• If you have not received your title or a letter requesting additional information/corrections 45 days after you submitted your documents, contact our office and provide the serial number of the manufactured home. 

• If signatures from the previous owner or lienholder cannot be obtained, additional documentation may be required. This may include:

• A court order or quiet title action, or 

• A T1 (Certificate of Title Transfer) Form or T13 (Bonded Certificate of Title Transfer) Form with supporting evidence.

• Notary services are typically available at: 
• Banks and credit unions, or
• The Carson City Office of the Housing Division. 
• Documents must be properly notarized prior to submission.

• Fees vary depending on the nature of the transaction.
• Please refer to the Fee Schedule.

• In some cases, you can submit a T1 (Certificate of Title Transfer) form along with a copy of the death certificate and supporting documents showing that you have the legal right to handle the property or act on behalf of the person who passed away.

• Spouses, children, or heirs, must first establish ownership, usually through probate or other documents showing they inherited the property.

• Yes, but it depends on who is doing the conversion and when the title company records documents.

• If the seller is converting: The seller can submit the conversion paperwork while the home is in escrow, as long as, the title company doesn’t record anything that changes ownership until the conversion is finished. Once the conversion is complete, the new deed can be recorded. 

• If the buyer is converting: The land deed should be recorded first so the ownership, conversion, and deed all show the same owner. This is usually the best way to handle a conversion during a sale. 

Prior to selling, the following must occur: 

• A Real Property Notice (RPN) has been issued by the Housing Division. 
• The RPN has been transmitted to the County by the Housing Division.

• The ownership information has been updated on the County Assessor’s website

• All ownership information must match on the land, home, and conversion paperwork. If the names don’t match, the home can’t be converted. Finishing the conversion before selling makes sure everything lines up and helps avoid delays when you close the sale.

• If the name on the RPN does not match the current owner, the County Assessor’s Office cannot complete the conversion as required by statute. 

• Contact your County Assessor’s Office before proceeding with the sale.

• The Assessor’s Office can provide guidance on appropriate next steps and timing to prevent delays.
