Owner of a manufactured home upon which the certificate of title has previously been cancelled due to attachment to real estate may apply to Service Oklahoma or a licensed operator 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 Service Oklahoma or a licensed operator. Reinstatement applications submitted to a licensed operator shall be forwarded to Service Oklahoma for approval.
- (3) Upon approval by Service Oklahoma, 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.
