I'M SELLING MY MOBILE HOME, BUT IT'S NOT MOVING. WHAT IS NEEDED?

FOR A NAME CHANGE ON A TITLE, A MOBILE HOME AUTHENTICATION MUST BE OBTAINED, EITHER IN PERSON OR BY MAIL, FROM THE TREASURER’S OFFICE. TAX STATUS IS CHECKED AND MAY REQUIRE TAX PAYMENT.

I BOUGHT A MANUFACTURED HOME. IT IS ON A PERMANENT FOUNDATION. HOW IS THIS HANDLED?

USUALLY, A TITLE (CALLED AN MSO - MANUFACTURER'S STATEMENT OF ORIGIN) FOR THE MANUFACTURED HOME IS KEPT BY THE MORTGAGE COMPANY. THE HOME IS INSPECTED BY THE ASSESSOR'S OFFICE AND TREATED LIKE A STANDARD HOME ON THE TAX ROLL. YOU MUST CONTACT THE COUNTY BUILDING DEPARTMENT, SALES AND USE TAX DEPARTMENT, AND THE COUNTY ASSESSOR'S OFFICE FOR PROPER FILING.

I WANT TO PUT MY MOBILE HOME ON A PERMANENT FOUNDATION. WHAT HAPPENS IN THIS SITUATION?

THE BUILDING DEPARTMENT AND ASSESSOR'S OFFICE MUST BE CONTACTED. IF THE MOBILE HOME IS SUCCESSFULLY COMBINED WITH A REAL PROPERTY SCHEDULE, THE MOBILE HOME TITLE MUST BE PURGED, AS IT IS NO LONGER TAXED AS A MOBILE HOME. THE COUNTY TREASURER REQUIRES THE TITLE, A SIGNED REQUEST TO PURGE FORM, AND THAT THE TAXES ARE PAID. THIS INFORMATION IS SENT TO THE STATE OF COLORADO. THERE IS NO CHARGE FOR THIS.
