Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

3 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 1 costs, 1 mixed.

More manufactured homeowners qualify for title removal

Beginning October 15, 2025, Washington's title-removal process covers canceling an existing manufactured-home title or waiving a required title. Qualifying land interests now include an individual interest in a mobile home park that meets the law's definition. Other qualifying interests include owning the land, a lease of at least 35 years, or buying through a real-estate contract. The Department of Licensing approves title removal, and required documents must be recorded in county real-property records. The change takes effect when recorded, and the home is then considered real property.

Manufactured homeowners face consent requirements and fees

Beginning October 15, 2025, moving a title-eliminated home to land the homeowner owns requires consent in the application affidavit. Consent must come from all secured parties and other lienholders on the land the home leaves. For title removal or retitling, a secured party can refuse consent unless an express written contract requires it. Secured parties can also charge a reasonable fee to process consent requests. The law does not set a dollar amount for that fee.

Manufactured home loans and transfers follow land

Beginning October 15, 2025, manufactured homes with eliminated titles cannot separately secure a loan. They can secure obligations only as part of real property through a mortgage, deed of trust, lease, or real-estate contract. The law adds a lease as an allowed instrument. Owners can transfer these homes by deed, lease, or real-estate contract. The home must transfer with its land interest unless the owner completes the required removal procedures.
