§47-1117.
§47-1117.
A. Unless otherwise provided by law, any person purchasing a new or
used manufactured home or owning a manufactured home which has not
been registered in this state shall register such manufactured home
pursuant to the provisions of subsection B of this section and obtain
a certificate of title as provided in Section 1105 of this title.
B. The application for registration and certificate of title shall be
made to the Oklahoma Tax Commission or to a motor license agent. Such
application shall be accompanied by the registration fees required by
Section 1135 of this title and any penalties thereon. The application
for registration and certificate of title shall include:
1. The name of the owner of the manufactured home;
2. The serial number or identification number of the manufactured
home;
3. A legal description or address of the location;
4. The actual retail selling price of the manufactured home excluding
Oklahoma taxes; and
5. Any other information which the Tax Commission deems to be
necessary.
The application for registration shall also include the school
district in which the manufactured home is located or is to be
located.
Upon the filing of an application for registration and certificate of
title, the payment of fees as required by Section 1133 of this title,
the excise tax as provided for in Section 2104.3 of Title 68 of the
Oklahoma Statutes and the furnishing of proof satisfactory to the Tax
Commission or motor license agent that all ad valorem taxes have been
paid, the Tax Commission or motor license agent shall assign the
manufactured home a distinctive number and shall issue to the owner of
the manufactured home a certificate of title, a manufactured home
registration receipt, Manufactured Home Registration Decal, and an
excise tax receipt. The certificate of title number shall be recorded
in the computer data system required by Section 1113 of this title in
order to collect and store information concerning the subsequent ad
valorem tax payments for such manufactured home. The receipts and
decal shall be permanently attached to the title by the Tax Commission
or agent. An excise tax receipt so attached shall constitute evidence
of payment of the excise tax required by the provisions of Section
2104.3 of Title 68 of the Oklahoma Statutes. Thereafter, the owner of
a manufactured home shall be assessed the ad valorem tax as provided
in Section 2801 et seq. of Title 68 of the Oklahoma Statutes.
C. If an applicant has satisfactorily shown to the Tax Commission or
to a motor license agent, that the applicant owns the manufactured
home sought to be registered, but is unable to produce the documentary
evidence of title, the Tax Commission or motor license agent may issue
a manufactured home registration receipt, Manufactured Home
Registration Decal and excise tax receipt to the applicant. In such
instances, the Tax Commission or motor license agent shall indicate on
the receipt given the applicant the reason for not issuing a
certificate of title. It shall be the duty of the applicant to
immediately take all necessary steps to obtain an Oklahoma certificate
of title. It shall be unlawful for such applicant to sell the
manufactured home until such title has been obtained by the applicant.
After receiving a certificate of title, the applicant shall then take
such title, registration and excise tax receipts and decal to the Tax
Commission or motor license agent for permanent attachment of the
receipts to the title.
D. The Department of Public Safety shall issue a permit immediately to
the holder of a perfected security interest or licensed representative
thereof, if the holder or representative is bonded by the state, to
move the manufactured home to a secure location with a repossession
affidavit. However, all excise taxes and ad valorem taxes due on such
a manufactured home shall be required to be paid within thirty (30)
days of the issuance of the permit. A certificate of title for a
manufactured home shall not be issued pursuant to a repossession prior
to the furnishing of proof satisfactory to the Tax Commission or motor
license agent that all ad valorem taxes due have been paid.
E. The Department shall issue a permit immediately to a licensed
manufactured home dealer to move a trade-in to a secure location with
a trade-in affidavit. However, all excise taxes and ad valorem taxes
due on such a manufactured home trade-in shall be required to be paid
within thirty (30) days of the issuance of the permit. A certificate
of title for a manufactured home trade-in shall not be issued prior to
the furnishing of proof satisfactory to the Tax Commission or a motor
license agent that all ad valorem taxes due have been paid. A receipt
evidencing payment of ad valorem taxes for the current year shall
constitute satisfactory proof that all ad valorem taxes due have been
paid.
F. The Department shall issue a moving permit for a manufactured home
which bears a current year license plate and decal.
