Manufactured Structures
Effective June 1, 2013 appointments are required for transactions related to manufactured structures. Please contact the Assessor's Office to make an appointment.
Manufactured Structure Transactions
Manufactured structures are also known as manufactured dwellings, manufactured homes, mobile homes, or park model homes. These structures are typically a minimum of 8-1/2 feet wide and can be moved to a new location.
Effective May 1, 2005, responsibility for maintaining ownership and site information for manufactured structures transferred from the Oregon Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) to the State of Oregon’s Building Codes Division (BCD). The DMV is no longer involved in this process. Ownership transfers are processed at the County Assessor’s Office which will be acting on behalf of BCD, through a title company or a dealer, or directly through Building Codes Division.
Deschutes County will update tax records only after the transfer with the Building Codes Division is completed. Until the transfer is complete, Deschutes County will continue to show the selling party as being the owner, and therefore responsible for all property taxes. Simply signing off on a title or sales agreement does not transfer ownership
Requirements for every transaction:
- All taxes must be paid in full. From July 1 until the tax roll is extended, pre-collection of taxes is also required (unless otherwise noted)
- All fees and taxes must be paid. All fees are NON-REFUNDABLE. Payment by cash or check only will be accepted for all fees other than tax payments. Contact the Deschutes County Tax Office to find out what payment methods other than cash or check will be accepted (541) 388-6540
Fee for research by Assessor's Office staff costs $65.00 per hour, half hour minimum, payable in advance.
