CERTIFICATE OF OWNERSHIP
The Titling department provides services to the general public, both new and used
manufactured/mobile home dealers, financial institutions, title/escrow companies, and
legal offices. All manufactured/mobile homes and commercial coaches that are sold or
shipped into Nevada must be registered and titled with the Division. The "Certificate
of Ownership" or title is like a "deed" for site-built home.
The Division issues "titles" and maintains state records of ownership on
all manufactured homes, mobile homes and commercial coaches; provides title searches;
records liens placed on homes; issues Real Property Notices. The Certificate of Ownership
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
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 lien holder and the
title is sent to the lien holder since they are the legal owners until the mortgage has
been satisfied.
Manufactured homes and mobile homes must also be registered with the county
assessors office for collection of property taxes.
WHERE CAN I GET A TITLE CHANGED ON A MANUFACTURED/MOBILE HOME?
Titles or "Certificate of Ownership" are issued by the Division in the
Carson City office. You may mail your request or submit it at any of the Division's locations
(see the Contact Us page). The fee is $40.00. You
may call the titling department at (775) 687-2060 for general information on titling and
conversions to real property.
CAN I SELL MY HOME MYSELF?
Yes. Any homeowner may sell his or her personal residence (home). The seller should
provide the buyer with the original title and a Bill of Sale. All
signatures must be notarized on the original title and Bill of Sale. The Bill of Sale
form may be obtained from the Division. 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 Title endorsed by the Assessor's Office before it is submitted to the Division.
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 an Affidavit of Trustee Appointment & Powers form and
submit it with your request. 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, county or state inspector. You must obtain a Affidavit of
Conversion form from your local county assessor's office. The form
must be completed and recorded with the county recorder's office. The
original Certificate of Ownership must be surrendered properly
endorsed. The fee for
conversion to real property is $40. You may contact the Title Office at
(775) 687-2060 for additional information on conversion procedures.
