AN ACT to provide CLARIFICATION for the retitling of a manufactured home that is removed from real property after the original title has been cancelled.

The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:

SECTION 1.  G.S. 20-109.2(d) reads as rewritten:

"(d)      Application for Title After Cancellation. - If the owner of a manufactured home whose certificate of title has been cancelled under this section subsequently seeks to separate the manufactured home from the real property, the owner may apply for a new certificate of title. The owner must submit to the Division an affidavit containing the same information set out in subsection (b) of this section, verification that the manufactured home has been removed from the real property, verification of the identity of the current owner of the real property upon which the manufactured home is located, and written consent of any affected owners of recorded mortgages, deeds of trust, or security interests in the real property where the manufactured home was placed. The Commissioner may require evidence sufficient to demonstrate that all affected owners of security interests have been notified and consent. Upon receipt of this information, together with a title application and required fee, the Division is authorized to issue a new title for the manufactured home.shall issue a new title for the manufactured home in the name of the current owner of the real property upon which the manufactured home is located or, if the title has been cancelled by a leasehold tenant and the tenancy has not terminated or expired, in the name of the leasehold tenant."

SECTION 2.  This act becomes effective August 1, 2011, and applies to titles issued on or after that date.
