Mobile Home Information
All mobile homes should be assessed annually between January 2nd and March 15th. Failure to do so results in a penalty added to the assessment. The assessor's office requires the title number, vin number, metal tag number and the location of the mobile home. Since mobile homes are assessed as personal property and charged ad valorem tax, you do not have to also pay the tag agency for a tag each year. A metal tag (cost of $3.25) must be purchased initially from the tag agent. As subsequent years are paid, the County Treasurer will issue decals upon request. A new decal is not required each year unless you are selling, buying, moving or transferring the title. It is at this time you will contact the Assessor's Office to acquire the proper paperwork to change the title or obtain a moving permit. The title is still changed through a Tag Agency and a moving permit is obtained from the Dept. of Public Safety.
BUYING/SELLING/MOVING
When selling, buying, moving or changing title to a mobile home, you must contact the assessor's office and have form 936 prepared. You will have to prepay the current year's taxes (to the County Treasurer). You will receive a copy of the form and a decal for the prepaid year. This is the information required by the tag agent to change the title. This information is also used to obtain a moving permit.It is against the law to move a mobile home without prepaying the taxes and obtaining a 936 form.
