Phillips manufactured-home transfers need tax authentication

Home and property Phillips County manufactured home tax authentication title transfer treasurer

Before a manufactured home changes hands in Phillips County, the seller must pay the home’s property taxes and provide the buyer with a tax authentication from the Treasurer. The Treasurer needs a copy of the title before issuing that document.

The seller also provides the certificate of title. The buyer then applies for a new title through the county Motor Vehicle Department. The county’s current instructions set a 45-day filing deadline after the sale of a new manufactured home and a 30-day deadline after the sale of a previously owned home. The title is filed in the county where the home is located.

Treat the title and tax authentication as one transfer package. Before closing, ask the Treasurer and Motor Vehicle Department what each side must bring and confirm that the taxes are paid, the authentication is ready, and the filing clock is understood.
