HCD maintains records and files establishing the existence and ownership of manufactured homes, mobilehomes, commercial modulars, floating homes, and truck campers. Any changes of ownership or registration renewals are updated and new documents are mailed to the owners. Scanned copies of the initial reporting documents are kept as permanent history records. 

When a manufactured home or multifamily manufactured home is installed on a foundation system, the home will no longer be registered by the Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). See HCD’s Consumer Information page for additional information about the process to cancel registration for homes on permanent foundation.

Per Assembly Bill 173 (Chapter 488, Statutes of 2019), the Register Your Mobilehome California: A Fee and Tax Waiver Program ended on December 31, 2020. Applications received with a postmark date on or before December 31, 2020, were accepted to the program. Applications with a postmark date of January 1, 2021, or later will not be accepted to the program. If you already have an open application, your application will remain open and in process with the Department.

County tax collector offices must continue to accept conditional titles and waive or prorate back due fees for customers participating in this program. If a customer is in possession of a green conditional title, that serves as proof that the customer has followed program procedures and met all necessary deadlines to participate in the program.
