Okla. Admin. Code § 260:135-7-137

Current through Vol. 42, No. 4, November 1, 2024

Section 260:135-7-137 - Cancellation of manufactured home title

Owners of manufactured homes that have been permanently affixed to real estate may make application to cancel the Oklahoma certificate of title. Only the owner of record on the Oklahoma title, out of state title, or assigned MSO, may make application through Service Oklahoma or any Licensed Operator.

(1) Owners of new manufactured homes, or previously titled manufactured homes entering from another state, may make application to cancel the Oklahoma manufactured home title before it is issued, by submitting the MSO or out-of-state title for cancellation. The Oklahoma title will be placed on 'CN' (cancel) hold.

(2) Other than as described in (1) of this Section, an Oklahoma certificate of title for the manufactured home in the name of the applicant must be submitted. If a record owner seeks to cancel a manufactured home certificate of title, but is unable to produce the title certificate, a printout generated from Service Oklahoma computer file, verifying record ownership, will suffice in lieu of a title. The printout is to be attached to the Application for Title Cancellation.

(3) Proof of ownership must be submitted to the county assessor's office where the home is located, along with a completed Application for Title Cancellation. The county assessor's office will ensure the title owner and landowner are one and the same, and validate the cancellation application.

(4) An application fee set forth by statute must be remitted with the cancellation application.

(5) Service Oklahoma or Licensed Operator must verify that no active lien appears on the record. If an active lien is reflected, a Cancellation Denial Notice will be given to the owner and the lienholder. The owner will be given a "Notice to Owner of the Existence of an Active Lien upon Application to Cancel Oklahoma Certificate of Title" and the application fee will be returned. The lienholder will be given a "Notice to Lienholder of Application to Cancel Oklahoma Certificate of Title". The Oklahoma title will not be cancelled until all liens are released.

(6) A copy of the "Application for Cancellation Form" and the "Notice to County Assessor Form" will be forwarded to the county assessor of the county in which the property is located by the Licensed Operator after receiving the completed cancellation application documentation, approved by the county assessor's office, and payment of the applicable cancellation fee.
