The Titling team serves
a variety of customers including the general public, manufactured/mobile home
dealers, financial institutions, title/escrow companies, and legal offices. All
manufactured/mobile homes sold or shipped into Nevada need to be registered and titled with the Division. The
"Certificate of Ownership" or title is your proof of ownership, much
like a title for a vehicle or a “deed” for a site-built home. We
now e-mail the “Certificate of Ownership” to the e-mail address provided on the
titling application. If you have lost your “Certificate of Ownership, we
are most happy to e-mail you a PDF version upon request. Please e-mail us at: titles@housing.nv.gov
Certificate of Ownership
The Manufactured
Housing Division issues titles and maintains state records of ownership on
manufactured homes, mobile homes and commercial coaches; we provide title
searches, record liens placed on homes and issue Real Property Notices for
homes converted to Real Property.
State Statute requires
NEW homes to be titled within 30 days of the sale (see NRS 489.501); for used
home sales it is 45 days (see NRS 489.511 and NRS 489.521).
The Certificate of Ownership(Title) contains information about the manufactured or mobile
home.
Structure Identification
The structure information contains the name of the manufacturer of the home;
the year it was manufactured; the size of the home; and the model and serial
number.
Owner
The home owner may be an individual(s), business or Trust. If the home is being
financed, the Certificate of Ownership will list the lienholder. The
title will be e-mailed to the Owner(s), Lienholder(s) and appropriate County
Assessor Office.
Manufactured homes and
mobile homes must also be registered with the county assessor’s office for
collection of property taxes.
Beneficiary Title
This is a title that would convey
ownership to the beneficiary or beneficiaries upon the death(s) of all titled
owner(s).
It is different from the JTWROS, because the
beneficiary does not take ownership of the home until the passing of the titled
owner(s).
The names of the beneficiaries will appear
in the section marked at TOD (Transfer on Death) on the face of the new
title.
How does it work?
-The homeowners will provide the full legal
names of all beneficiaries on a Certificate of Ownership that was obtained from
the Division after August 23, 2022
-The Division will issue a title naming the
beneficiaries under the TOD section
-Upon passing of the titled owners, the
beneficiaries will provide the Division with a Certificate of Ownership that
was obtained from the Division after August 23, 2022, Death Certificate(s) for
titled owner(s) and a titling fee
Important things to know
-We need full legal names for all
beneficiaries
-Beneficiaries may be added and/or removed
by titled owners at ANY time. A titling fee will apply each time a change to
the record is made
-In order to add or remove a beneficiary, ALL
titled owners must have their signatures notarized on section ten of a
Certificate of Ownership that was obtained from the Division after August 23,
2022

Can I sell my home myself?
Yes. Any homeowner may sell his or her
personal residence (home). The seller should provide the buyer with a
Certificate of Ownership that was obtained from the Division after August 23,
2022. All signatures must be notarized on the Certificate of Ownership that was
obtained from the Division after August 23, 2022. The buyer should verify that
the property taxes have been paid by contacting their local County Assessor's
Office. The buyer will need to have the Certificate of Ownership endorsed by
the Assessor's Office before it is submitted to the Division. If you
require a Certificate of Ownership, you may request a new one by e-mail
us at titles@housing.nv.gov.
The new homeowner should submit their request for a new title to the
Division within 30 days.
Can the home be registered to a trust?
Yes. You must complete the Affidavit of
Trustee Appointment & Powers on section three of a Certificate of Ownership
that was obtained from the Division after August 23, 2022 and all trustees or
successor trustees must sign section ten. The Certificate of Ownership will be
issued in the name of the trustee on behalf of the Trust.
Can the home be converted from personal property to real property?
Yes, in most cases. The home will need to
have a conversion inspection by a city or county inspector. You may obtain an
Affidavit of Conversion form from the Division. It is located under the
“Titling Forms” on the top right-hand side of this page. The form must be
completed and recorded with the county recorder's office. The recorded
Affidavit of Conversion form must be submitted to the Manufactured Housing
Office, along with a copy of the deed to the land, and the conversion fee of
$60. If you need to change the title record to match the land, you will also
need to include a Certificate of Ownership that was obtained from the Division
after August 23, 2022
along with the title fee of $60, per
transfer. Please Note: The Conversion to Real Property is NOT
complete until you have received a Real Property Notice from Manufactured
Housing.
