Mobile Homes

In order to change the title/ownership on your mobile home, you will first need to contact the Department of Housing and Community Development (H.C.D.). They will send you a packet of information and a list of the
documentation necessary. Their address is as follows:

Department of Housing & Community Development, Registration & Titling (District Office)

Since your mobile home is currently on the tax roll, one of the documents you will be required to provide is a Mobile Home Tax Clearance Certificate. This is issued by our office and is valid for 60 days. There is no cost for the initial certificate, but a $25.00 fee is charged for reissued documents. Therefore, it is recommended that you wait until after you receive the packet from H.C.D. before requesting the original tax clearance.

In order to request a Tax Clearance Certificate, simply fill out the Tax Clearance Request Form with (1) current registered owner, (2) current location of the mobile home, (3) future registered owner and, (4) future location of the mobile home. If you know your fee parcel or assessment number, please enter it next to the current location of the mobile home. If you are not using a title company to make these changes, just leave that section blank.

If you know the Make, Year of Manufacture, Serial Number and Decal of your mobile, please enter that information in the spaces provided. If you are mailing or faxing in the request form, please send along a copy of your current Certificate of Title. This will help us ensure the accuracy of your title change information.

All current and delinquent taxes must be paid before a Tax Clearance Certificate can be issued. In addition, estimated taxes for the next tax year will be collected, when warranted, based on current assessed values.

If you have any questions or need further assistance, please contact the Butte County Tax Collector’s Office at 530-538-7701 or taxes@buttecounty.net. Office hours are Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., holidays excluded.
