SECTION 710:60-3-134. Reinstatement of cancelled manufactured home title

  Owner of a manufactured home upon which the certificate of title has previously been cancelled due to attachment to real estate may apply to the Oklahoma Tax Commission or a motor license agent for reinstatement and issuance of a new original certificate of title.

(1)   The reinstatement application is to be completed by the owner of record. There are two (2) documentary requirements on the application for reinstatement:

(A)   The homeowner must attest ownership of the manufactured home and the nonexistence of any security interest or lien of record in the manufactured home; and

(B)   The homeowner shall provide a title opinion by a licensed attorney, declaring that the owner of the manufactured home has a marketable title to the real property upon which the manufactured home is located and that no documents filed of record in the county clerk's office concerning the real property contain a mortgage, recorded financial statement, judgment, or lien of record. The opinion must be signed by the issuing attorney, on his/her letterhead and be executed, or updated, within thirty (30) days of the application date.

(2)   A properly completed application for reinstatement may be submitted to the Oklahoma Tax Commission or a motor license agent. Reinstatement applications submitted to a motor license agent shall be forwarded to the Oklahoma Tax Commission for approval.

(3)   Upon approval by the Tax Commission, a new original certificate of title shall be issued and registration fees collected for the balance of the calendar year.

(4)   Reinstatement of a manufactured home certificate of title does not absolve the owner of any Ad Valorem tax obligation to the county where the manufactured home was or is located.
