[CLC-Discussion] Lien on a Mobile Home itself

I practice in The Villages.  The original section consisted of manufactured homes.  Many of the lenders want the manufactured home to be converted to real estate.  I have done a few of the closings.  The first inquiry is whether the mobile home/mh is tied down.  If so you can convert it,  If not it stays personal property.  Each mh/mh has a serial number on the certificate of title.  In a visible location there is also a sticker similar to what is on your license plate.  You can check at the Department of Motor Vehicles also to see if it is still personal property.

Since the mh owner is not the land owner, it has to be personal property.  713 Part I only provides for a lien on real property.  713 Part II may provide for a lien but I am not familiar with that section at all.  It seems that the contractor is overreaching. Arlene

My Mom was born and raised in a small town in northwest Alabama near Tupelo, Mississippi (birth place of the King).  As a result, the Bolins know a lot about mobile homes (manufactured housing as my Uncle David-Ray used to correct us) but nothing about the Florida lien law relating to such.  Sorry. Arnie.

Good afternoon and pardon the interruption,

A contractor has recorded a claim of lien for work performed on a mobile home. The mobile home is owned by an individual but on leased land in a mobile home park. I am aware of Section 713.10(2)(b)(3), Florida Statutes which indicates the lien will not attach to the land. However, my question is will the lien attach still attach to the mobile home (personal property)? The mobile home owner still has a certificate of title (with no finance company lien holder) to the mobile home.

If anyone has any insight on this topic, please reply directly to the sender. Thank you in advance for any information.

Kind regards,

Michelle L. Rivera, Esq.
 Attorney
