Existing law sets forth various requirements and restrictions relating to a certificate of ownership that is issued by the Housing Division of the Department of Business and Industry for a manufactured home, mobile home, manufactured building or commercial coach or factory-built housing. (NRS 489.501-489.585) Sections 1-4, 6-16 and 18-23 of this bill change the name of such a certificate from a “certificate of ownership” to a “certificate of title.” Section 24 of this bill provides that any valid certificate of ownership issued by the Division before July 1, 2023, is deemed to be a certificate of title issued by the Division.
Section 2 of this bill authorizes the Administrator of the Division to issue certain documents, including, among others, a certificate of title, in electronic form.
Existing law sets forth certain requirements concerning the sale of a new, used or rebuilt manufactured home, mobile home, manufactured building or commercial coach or new, used or rebuilt factory-built housing. (NRS 489.501, 489.511, 489.521) If such a sale is conducted by a dealer, existing law requires the dealer to: (1) complete a dealer's report of sale on a form prescribed by the Division which contains certain required information; and (2) require the buyer to sign an acknowledgement of taxes on a form prescribed by the Division which includes certain information. (NRS 489.501, 489.511) Sections 5 and 6 of this bill eliminate certain requirements concerning the dealer's report of sale and the information that is required to be included on the dealer's report of sale and the acknowledgement of taxes.
If the sale of a used or rebuilt manufactured home, mobile home, manufactured building or commercial coach or used or rebuilt factory-built housing is conducted by a person who is not a dealer, existing law requires the seller or buyer, or both, to submit certain documents to the Division and the county assessor of the county in which the manufactured home, mobile home, manufactured building, commercial coach or factory-built housing is located. (NRS 489.521) Section 7 of this bill eliminates that requirement and instead requires the seller or buyer, or both, to submit to the Division and the county assessor any information that the Administrator requires by regulation.
Existing law prohibits the Division from issuing a certificate of ownership of a used manufactured home or used mobile home unless the county assessor of the county in which the manufactured home or mobile home was situated at the time of sale has endorsed on the certificate that certain taxes have been paid. (NRS 489.531) Section 8 of this bill revises that prohibition to authorize the Division to issue a certificate of title of a used manufactured home or used mobile home if the county assessor verifies to the Division, on a form prescribed by the Division, that certain taxes have been paid.
With certain exceptions, existing law prohibits any money concerning the sale or exchange of an interest in a manufactured home, mobile home, manufactured building or commercial coach or factory-built housing which is held by a dealer from being distributed until, among other things, an application for a certificate of ownership or certificate of title has been submitted to the Division and certain documents have been executed. (NRS 489.723) Section 15 of this bill requires that application to be submitted and those documents to be executed in a form prescribed by the Division.
Section 26 of this bill eliminates certain requirements concerning the transfer of the title to or the interest of an owner in a manufactured home, mobile home or commercial coach.
Existing law creates the Account for Low-Income Housing, which is administered by the Division, and establishes the purposes for which the Account is required to be used. (NRS 118B.215, 319.500, 319.510) One such required use is to assist eligible persons by supplementing their monthly rent for the manufactured home lot on which their manufactured home is located. Under existing law, to be eligible for assistance from the Account, a person is required to have, among other things, a monthly household income that is at or below certain specified amounts. (NRS 118B.215) Section 18 of this bill revises those eligibility requirements to instead require that, to be eligible for assistance from the Account, a person must have a monthly household income that is at or below: (1) the federally designated level signifying poverty or thirty percent of the median family income, as prescribed by the HOME Investment Partnerships Act, adjusted for household size, which the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development has established for the area of the State in which the manufactured home is located, whichever is greater; or (2) a maximum monthly household income that the Administrator has established by regulation. (42 U.S.C. §§ 12701 et seq.)
Existing law requires a governing body of a city or county to adopt standards for the placement of a manufactured home that will not be affixed to a lot within a mobile home park and prescribes certain criteria for such a manufactured home that must be incorporated into such standards. (NRS 278.02095) Section 19 of this bill revises these criteria to provide that such a manufactured home must consist of one or more sections and consist of at least 400 square feet of living area, except under certain circumstances.
