The
owner of a manufactured home is required to obtain a Certificate
of Title. Owners of manufactured homes are to annually register
the home with the County Auditor and pay the taxes assessed to
the County Treasurer. New manufactured homes acquired from a dealer
are transferred in the same manner as motor vehicles. Any used
manufactured home that is sold or changing ownership after 1/1/2000
is required to complete a conveyance/exempt form with the County
Auditor. Ownership of a manufactured home cannot be transferred
until proof of annual registration and payment of taxes are provided.
To transfer a used manufactured home, your Certificate of Title
should be presented to the Treasurer's Office for verification
that all taxes have been paid. Once the title is endorsed by the
Treasurer, it is then taken to the County Auditor. Upon completion
of a conveyance/exempt form and a payment of a conveyance fee,
the Auditor will endorse the Certificate of Title. The current
conveyance fee in Clermont County is $ 1.00 per thousand and (.10)
cents per hundred (rounded up to the next hundred) of the consideration
for the property. The conveyance fee is in lieu of the sales tax.
The title is then taken to the Clerk of Courts where a new title
will be issued.
