Manufactured Housing Information

The Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs (TDHCA) maintains the official state records called Statements of Ownership (SO) regarding the ownership, location, lien status and status as real property or personal property.  In the event that you sell or transfer ownership of a home, the “SO” must be updated.  It also must be updated if the home is moved to another location.  Please visit www.tdhca.state.tx.us/mh for information on applying for a Statement of Ownership.  

When filing for a statement of ownership on a manufactured home, a statement from the Tax Assessors-Collector for the county that the home is located in on January 1st must also be submitted with your application to the TDHCA.  The statement from the Tax Assessor-Collector must indicate that there are no prior taxes due and that estimated taxes for the upcoming year are held in escrow.
