Missouri allows for conversion of a manufactured home to real property. Missouri has recently amended its law, effective March 1, 2011, whereby a certiﬁcate of title or origin may be surrendered to show conversion to real property. It is a factual determination requiring: (a) that the owners of the manufactured home be the same as the owners of the real estate; and (b) that the manufactured home be afﬁxed to the property by (i) having the axles, wheels, and hitch removed, (ii) being on a permanent foundation, and (iii) being attached to that foundation. This is accomplished by the ﬁling of a Form 5315 Application for Surrender of Title or Manufacturer’s Certiﬁcate of Origin, accompanied by the following: (a) the name, residence, and mailing address of the owner; (b) a description of the manufactured home, including its make, model, name of manufacturer, year, dimensions, and VIN or serial number and whether it is used or new; (c) date of purchase by the owner, along with name and address of the person from whom it was acquired, and name and address of any lienholders in order of apparent priority; (d) statement of the owner indicating any facts, known to the owner, that could affect the validity of the title or the existence or nonexistence of any other interest or lien in the manufactured home; (e) a certiﬁed copy of the recorded afﬁdavit of afﬁxation (see 3 above); (if) the original manufacturer‘s certiﬁcate of origin; (g) the name and address of each person wishing written acknowledgement of surrender; and (h) the applicable ﬁling fee.

Yes. The statutory reference for surrender or retirement of certiﬁcates of title is VAMS Section 700.111. A manufactured home is deﬁned in Section 70001005). The terms “mobile home” and “modular home” are not individually deﬁned, but generally would fall under the deﬁnition of a manufactured home in Section 700.010(6).

VAMS Section 700 uses the term “manufactured home” with the term “mobile home” frequently in parentheses behind the term “manufactured home.” The term “manufactured home” is deﬁned as a “structure, transportable in one or more sections, which, in the traveling mode, is 8 body feet or more in width or 40 body feet or more in length, or, when erected on site, is 320 or more square feet, and which is built on a permanent chassis and designed" to be used as a dwelling with or without a permanent foundation when connected to the required utilities, and includes the plumbing, heating, air-conditioning, and electrical systems contained therein. The term includes any structure that meets all of the requirements of this paragraph except the size requirements and with respect to which the manufacturer voluntarily files a certiﬁcation required by the US. Secretary of Housing and Urban Development and complies with the standards established under Title 42 of the US. Code.” VAMS Section 700.010(6).

The term “modular unit” is deﬁned as a transportable building unit designed to be used by itself or to be incorporated with similar units at a point-of-use into a modular structure to be used for residential, commercial, educational, or industrial purposes. This definition shall not apply to structures less than 650 square feet used temporarily and exclusively for construction-site office purposes. VAMS Section 700.010(8). Generally, modular homes are not treated as motor vehicles and do not have certiﬁcates of title. They usually come in two sections, transported on a trailer and not with wheels and a hitch that are actually a part of the home. They are usually considered real property.

	Missouri allows for conversion of a manufactured home to real property. Missouri has recently amended its law, effective March 1, 2011, whereby a certiﬁcate of title or origin may be surrendered to show conversion to real property. It is a factual determination requiring: (a) that the owners of the manufactured home be the same as the owners of the real estate; and (b) that the manufactured home be afﬁxed to the property by (i) having the axles, wheels, and hitch removed, (ii) being on a permanent foundation, and (iii) being attached to that foundation. This is accomplished by the ﬁling of a Form 5315 Application for Surrender of Title or Manufacturer’s Certiﬁcate of Origin, accompanied by the following: (a) the name, residence, and mailing address of the owner; (b) a description of the manufactured home, including its make, model, name of manufacturer, year, dimensions, and VIN or serial number and whether it is used or new; (c) date of purchase by the owner, along with name and address of the person from whom it was acquired, and name and address of any lienholders in order of apparent priority; (d) statement of the owner indicating any facts, known to the owner, that could affect the validity of the title or the existence or nonexistence of any other interest or lien in the manufactured home; (e) a certiﬁed copy of the recorded afﬁdavit of afﬁxation (see 3 above); (if) the original manufacturer‘s certiﬁcate of origin; (g) the name and address of each person wishing written acknowledgement of surrender; and (h) the applicable ﬁling fee.
