A mobile home bill of sale documents the sale of a manufactured home — serial numbers for each section, the HUD label, size, and price — signed by both parties. It supports the title transfer where homes are personal property and anchors the record everywhere else.

Title or deed?

Know which kind of property you're selling.

Manufactured homes are the one item in this library that can be either kind of property. A home on rented land (a park lot) is usually personal property with a DMV-style title — the bill of sale supports that title transfer. A home permanently affixed to land the owner also sells is often real property that transfers by deed, and this form alone won’t do it. That split varies by state, so check before money changes hands.

Identification matters more here than anywhere: a multi-section (double-wide) home has a serial number for each section — list them all — plus the red HUD certification label on the exterior of each section. Park name, lot number, and what stays with the home (skirting, sheds, appliances) belong in the additional-terms box.

Before closing

Two approvals most sellers forget.

Two things stall manufactured-home sales at the finish line. First, property taxes: many states require a tax clearance or paid-current certificate before the title office will transfer a mobile home. Call the county collector before the sale date, not after. Second, the park: if the home stays on its lot, the buyer almost always needs park approval before closing — get the application in early or the deal waits on the office.

Hand over the keys with a folder: this bill of sale, the title (or deed paperwork), the tax receipt, and the park approval. Not legal advice — whether your home transfers by title or by deed is exactly the kind of question worth one call to the state or a professional.

The notary question

Do you need a notary for a mobile home bill of sale?

Usually not for the bill of sale itself — most states accept plain signatures on the sale document. What trips people up is the rest of the packet: several states require the title work on a manufactured home to be notarized, parks sometimes want notarized paperwork before approving a lot transfer, and lenders always do. Since the answer depends on your state and your park, the practical rule is simple: if any part of the transfer will be notarized anyway, have the bill of sale stamped in the same sitting — it costs a few dollars and removes the question forever.

Before you sign

Mobile home questions, answered.

How do I write up a bill of sale for a mobile home?

Record both parties, the price, the date, and then the identifiers that make a manufactured home findable: the serial number and the HUD label number. A doublewide has two serial numbers, one per section, and the form has room for both. Note whether the sale includes the land — that single distinction changes the transaction from personal property to real estate.

Is a mobile home personal property or real estate?

It depends on whether it has been permanently affixed to land you also own. On a rented lot or in a park it is usually titled as personal property, much like a vehicle, and transfers with a title and bill of sale. Once permanently affixed and the title retired, it becomes real property and transfers by deed — a bill of sale is not the right instrument for that sale.

Does a mobile home bill of sale need to be notarized?

More often than for vehicles. Because the values are high and titling routes vary, several states require notarization for manufactured-home transfers and some require the signatures of all titled owners. Check your state's page, and when in doubt notarize — the cost is trivial against the value of the transaction.

What about taxes on the sale?

Rules differ by state and by whether the home is classed as personal or real property, and some jurisdictions require proof that property taxes are current before a transfer will be recorded. Write the true price on the document and check your county's requirements before closing.

Not legal advice. Titling and registration rules are set by your state — check yours in the list above before finalizing a transfer.
