[WSBARP] Clearing title old bank as legal owner

[Richard Holland]

What a mess.  This is why as soon as you hear ‘mobile home’ the groans in the office are audible.

I would not publicly disagree with the fine personnel at the county. But I can copy the statute. The State Legislature has actually answered that manufactured home becoming real property question fairly clearly in RCW chapter 65.20. See RCW 65.30.030<http://app.leg.wa.gov/rcw/default.aspx?cite=65.20.030>:

The manufactured home shall not be real property in any form, including fixture law, unless the title is eliminated under this chapter.

Of course that does not affect the Treasurer: RCW 65.20.910:

Nothing in this chapter shall be construed to affect the taxation of manufactured homes.

Once physically affixed a mobile home is real estate.

According to Excise, because the mobile has become “real estate” by being affixed and now taxed as such (this latter part is critical), it is real estate already regardless of the existence of a title with DOL.
