What must I do to change the name on the title or transfer the title on my mobile home?

When a title transfer or change of name on a title occurs, the Motor Vehicle Division issues the new title. As per Section 66-3-110 NMSA 1978, the Motor Vehicle Division issues a new title under the following guidelines:

The Motor Vehicle Division needs a properly endorsed certificate of title, current registration evidence, proper application for registration or transfer of registration, and the required fee.
The Motor Vehicle Division requires, in addition to conditions set out above, a certificate from the County Treasurer or Assessor of the county in which the manufactured home is located showing that either:
All property taxes due or to become due on the manufactured home for the current tax year or any past tax years have been paid
No liability for property taxes on the manufactured home exists for the current year or any past tax years.
