An owner of a mobile or manufactured home may choose to obtain a title on a mobile or manufactured home whose title was surrendered. Before the mobile or manufactured home is removed from real property, the owner shall submit to the department a current tax affidavit from the county treasurer in which the mobile or manufactured home was located and an affidavit stating that the home is no longer subject to a real property mortgage or any other liens. The owner shall also furnish the department an independent report that lists the legal description of the real estate upon which the mobile or manufactured home is located, any liens or encumbrances against the mobile or manufactured home or the real estate upon which the mobile or manufactured home is located, and the current owner of the mobile or manufactured home. The independent report shall also contain an affidavit stating a lien search was conducted of all records of the register of deeds, clerk of courts, the treasurer in the county where the mobile or manufactured home is located, and the secretary of state and shall describe any liens revealed by that search. If any liens or encumbrances exist against the mobile or manufactured home, the applicant shall obtain a release from each lienholder prior to issuance of a title. The department is not responsible for any mistakes in the issuance of the title resulting from documents provided pursuant to this section.
