Forms for manufactured dwelling ownership changes. Effective May 1, 2005, responsibility for maintaining ownership and siting information for manufactured structures transferred from the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) to the Building Codes Division (BCD). Homeowners and other interested parties should no longer contact DMV if they buy, move, or otherwise change the status of a manufactured home or other manufactured structure. Instead, most transactions will now take place at the county assessor’s office, which will be acting on behalf of the division. More information is available from the Building Codes Division Manufactured Home Ownership webpage. Or contact the county Assessor's Office (see Contact A&T.)
