Real property status for older manufactured homes

Montana now lets some older manufactured homes be treated as real property. Your home must be built before October 1, 2005 and missing factory ID tags. You must remove the running gear and attach the home to a permanent foundation so it cannot be towed on public highways. It must sit on land you own, are buying, or have the landowner’s permission. You must record a statement of intent on a Montana Department of Revenue form with the county clerk and recorder, and show Department of Revenue proof the home has been taxed as real property for at least one year. Once recorded, the state and lenders treat the home like any other house on land. The law takes effect on passage and approval.
