9	9	AN ACT relating to manufactured housing; changing the name of
10	10	the document issued by the Housing Division of the
11	11	Department of Business and Industry indicating the
12	12	ownership of a manufactured home, mobile home,
13	13	manufactured building or commercial coach or factory-built
14	14	housing from a “certificate of ownership” to a “certificate of
15	15	title”; authorizing the Administrator of the Division to issue
16	16	certain documents in electronic form; revising requirements
17	17	for certain transactions involving the ownership of a
18	18	manufactured home, mobile home, manufactured building or
19	19	commercial coach or factory-built housing; revising
20	20	eligibility requirements for persons seeking assistance from
21	21	the Account for Affordable Housing; revising provisions
22	22	governing local ordinances concerning the placement of
23	23	certain manufactured homes; and providing other matters
24	24	properly relating thereto.
25	25	Legislative Counsel’s Digest:
26	26	Existing law sets forth various requirements and restrictions relating to a
27	27	certificate of ownership that is issued by the Housing Division of the Department of
28	28	Business and Industry for a manufactured home, mobile home, manufactured
29	29	building or commercial coach or factory-built housing. (NRS 489.501-489.585)
30	30	Sections 1-4, 6-16 and 18-23 of this bill change the name of such a certificate from
31	31	a “certificate of ownership” to a “certificate of title.” Section 24 of this bill
32	32	provides that any valid certificate of ownership issued by the Division before
33	33	July 1, 2023, is deemed to be a certificate of title issued by the Division.
34	34	Section 2 of this bill authorizes the Administrator of the Division to issue
35	35	certain documents, including, among others, a certificate of title, in electronic form.
36	36	Existing law sets forth certain requirements concerning the sale of a new, used
37	37	or rebuilt manufactured home, mobile home, manufactured building or commercial
38	38	coach or new, used or rebuilt factory-built housing. (NRS 489.501, 489.511,
39	39	489.521) If such a sale is conducted by a dealer, existing law requires the dealer to:
40	40	(1) complete a dealer’s report of sale on a form prescribed by the Division which
41	41	contains certain required information; and (2) require the buyer to sign an
42	42	acknowledgement of taxes on a form prescribed by the Division which includes
43	43	certain information. (NRS 489.501, 489.511) Sections 5 and 6 of this bill eliminate
44	44	certain requirements concerning the dealer’s report of sale and the information that
45	45	is required to be included on the dealer’s report of sale and the acknowledgement of
46	46	taxes.
47	47	If the sale of a used or rebuilt manufactured home, mobile home, manufactured
48	48	building or commercial coach or used or rebuilt factory-built housing is conducted
49	49	by a person who is not a dealer, existing law requires the seller or buyer, or both, to
50	50	submit certain documents to the Division and the county assessor of the county in
51	51	which the manufactured home, mobile home, manufactured building, commercial
52	52	coach or factory-built housing is located. (NRS 489.521) Section 7 of this bill
53	53	eliminates that requirement and instead requires the seller or buyer, or both, to
54	54	– 2 –
55	55
56	56
57	57	- 82nd Session (2023)
58	58	submit to the Division and the county assessor any information that the
59	59	Administrator requires by regulation.
60	60	Existing law prohibits the Division from issuing a certificate of ownership of a
61	61	used manufactured home or used mobile home unless the county assessor of the
62	62	county in which the manufactured home or mobile home was situated at the time of
63	63	sale has endorsed on the certificate that certain taxes have been paid. (NRS
64	64	489.531) Section 8 of this bill revises that prohibition to authorize the Division to
65	65	issue a certificate of title of a used manufactured home or used mobile home if the
66	66	county assessor verifies to the Division, on a form prescribed by the Division, that
67	67	certain taxes have been paid.
68	68	With certain exceptions, existing law prohibits any money concerning the sale
69	69	or exchange of an interest in a manufactured home, mobile home, manufactured
70	70	building or commercial coach or factory-built housing which is held by a dealer
71	71	from being distributed until, among other things, an application for a certificate of
72	72	ownership or certificate of title has been submitted to the Division and certain
73	73	documents have been executed. (NRS 489.723) Section 15 of this bill requires that
74	74	application to be submitted and those documents to be executed in a form
75	75	prescribed by the Division.
76	76	Section 26 of this bill eliminates certain requirements concerning the transfer
77	77	of the title to or the interest of an owner in a manufactured home, mobile home or
78	78	commercial coach.
79	79	Existing law creates the Account for Low-Income Housing, which is
80	80	administered by the Division, and establishes the purposes for which the Account is
81	81	required to be used. (NRS 118B.215, 319.500, 319.510) One such required use is to
82	82	assist eligible persons by supplementing their monthly rent for the manufactured
83	83	home lot on which their manufactured home is located. Under existing law, to be
84	84	eligible for assistance from the Account, a person is required to have, among other
85	85	things, a monthly household income that is at or below certain specified amounts.
86	86	(NRS 118B.215) Section 18 of this bill revises those eligibility requirements to
87	87	instead require that, to be eligible for assistance from the Account, a person must
88	88	have a monthly household income that is at or below: (1) the federally designated
89	89	level signifying poverty or thirty percent of the median family income, as
90	90	prescribed by the HOME Investment Partnerships Act, adjusted for household size,
91	91	which the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development has
92	92	established for the area of the State in which the manufactured home is located,
93	93	whichever is greater; or (2) a maximum monthly household income that the
94	94	Administrator has established by regulation. (42 U.S.C. §§ 12701 et seq.)
95	95	Existing law requires a governing body of a city or county to adopt standards
96	96	for the placement of a manufactured home that will not be affixed to a lot within a
97	97	mobile home park and prescribes certain criteria for such a manufactured home that
98	98	must be incorporated into such standards. (NRS 278.02095) Section 19 of this bill
99	99	revises these criteria to provide that such a manufactured home must consist of one
100	100	or more sections and consist of at least 400 square feet of living area, except under
101	101	certain circumstances.
