RÉSUMÉ DIGEST
ACT 287 (SB 63) 2024 Regular Session Coussan
Prior law (R.S. 9:1149.1-1149.7) provided for the Manufactured Home Property Act.
New law revises prior law to provide for the Factory-Built Home Property Act.
New law (R.S. 9:1149.1) provides for a short title.
New law (R.S. 9:1149.2) provides a new definition of factory-built home to encompass
mobile homes, manufactured homes, and modular homes.
New law (R.S. 9:1149.3) retains prior law provision that factory-built homes are classified
as movable by default.
New law (R.S. 9:1149.4) creates a presumption that any transfer of an immovable upon
which a nonimmobilized factory-built home is located includes all of the transferor's interest
in the home, subject to rights of third parties.
New law (R.S. 9:1149.5) does not change prior law in providing that security interests in a
factory-built home are effective against third parties and take rank and priority as provided
in the Uniform Commercial Code - Secured Transactions, R.S. 10:9-101 et seq.
New law (R.S. 9:1149.6) provides for the immobilization of factory-built homes. New law
changes prior law in that the declaration of immobilization does not have to be an authentic
act and must be filed in the conveyance records rather than the mortgage records.
New law also clarifies that the security interests of third parties are not lost upon
immobilization and the concurrence of third parties is required to immobilize the home.
New law (R.S. 9:1149.7) provides for the deimmobilization of factory-built homes. New law
changes prior law in that the declaration of deimmobilization does not have to be an
authentic act and must be filed in the conveyance records rather than the mortgage records.
New law also clarifies that deimmobilization by removal or detachment is only possible in
the absence of third-party rights. New law further provides that the concurrence of a third
party who has an interest in the factory-built home is required to deimmobilize the home.
New law makes conforming technical changes to terminology and cross-references
throughout existing law.
Effective August 1, 2024.
