21-54-20. Voluntary transfer of title to mobile home or manufactured home to real property owner for disposal--Affidavit--Permit--Surrender of title to county treasurer.
An owner of an unencumbered, except for taxes owed, mobile home or manufactured home may voluntarily transfer title of the mobile home or manufactured home, for the sole purpose of disposal, to the owner of the real property upon which the mobile home or manufactured home is located. The treasurer shall issue a title to the owner of the real property on which the mobile home or manufactured home is located, without payment or obligation to pay any taxes owed on the home at the time of acquisition.
Prior to disposal, the owner of the real property shall submit an affidavit for disposal of the mobile home or manufactured home, and the properly endorsed title, to the county treasurer verifying that title was transferred for disposal purposes only and that no consideration was exchanged.
If the owner of the real property is moving the mobile home or manufactured home as part of the disposal process, the county treasurer shall issue the permit provided by §32-5-16.3 to move the mobile home or manufactured home for disposal purposes without receiving payment of taxes owed on the mobile home or manufactured home.
The owner of the real property has ninety days from the date of the affidavit to dispose of the mobile home or manufactured home and to surrender the title to the county treasurer. The county treasurer may allow an additional sixty days for disposal upon request by the owner of the mobile home or manufactured home upon good cause shown for such additional days. If the title is not timely surrendered to the county treasurer, the owner of the real property is liable for all taxes owed on the mobile home or manufactured home.
The Department of Revenue shall prescribe the form for the affidavit required by this section.
