when or what yr does a mobil home become realestate property and doesnt have to be titled?

October 15th, 2009 | by admin |

I bought a house 3 yrs ago in 72 the orig.owners started with a sing. wide trailer then later build a house around it now I’m selling it and the mortgage comp. wants the serial # the only thing under it is the beams on a concrete slab no ID# I was told once the axels , tires were removed it becomes real estate property when we bought it we never went throught any of this it was concedered a stick built not a trailer p.s. we live in arkansas

I’ll bet the previous owners never did an affidavit of affixture (telling the county the home is fixed to the ground with wheel removed etc) start at your local county recorders office to see ify ou can find an original serial number on record then fill out an affidavit of affixture and file it with them – start there :) good luck

    You need an Arkansas lawyer to give you a definite answer. The general answer is that when it gets attached to the ground (bolted to a pad, set on a foundation, etc. probably not the simple removal of wheels but the attachment of other stick built parts probably yes) it becomes real estate. As for titling the actual trailer or mobile home itself, that’s a matter of state statute that would be peculiar to your state. There may be exceptions to what I’ve said above, it may not be the law in your state and in any case the bank can be as unreasonable in their requests as they want to unless they are a party to the contract.
