Where can I find information on mobile home titles?
If by “mobile home” you mean something that’s similar to a motor home or RV, chances are you’ll find information about title matters lies with your DMV or whichever agency handles vehicle titles and registrations in your state.
However, if by “mobile home” you mean something that’s more similar to a trailer (a habitable structure that you can move if you wish but one that normally stays put on a piece of land you own or lease), there’s no across-the-board answer – it all depends on where you live.
You might have to handle mobile home titles through the same state agency that handles vehicle titles and registrations. For example, both Delaware and Nebraska handle mobile home titles through their DMV offices, and in Alabama owners of mobile homes designated during or after 1990 handle their title matters through the state’s Motor Vehicle Division of the Department of Revenue.
Or, you might have to take care of them through the state agency that handles titles and deeds for traditional homes.
The good news is you’re not alone; mobile homes don’t just appear out of thin air, after all. In other words:

The good news is you’re not alone; mobile homes don’t just appear out of thin air, after all. In other words:
- If you purchased your mobile home new or used through a dealer, he or she will already know exactly how to handle the title process and will likely walk you through it.
- If you purchased the mobile home from a private seller and you and the seller went through a real estate agent, that agent can help you with title procedures. Even if the two of you handled the transaction alone, you can gather information from the previous owner (“Where did you handle the titling process for this?”) or contact the two agencies in your state that handle vehicle titles and home titles and deeds.
