Who would have serial numbers on a mobile home?

Have been looking for the serial numbers for a manufactured home that I am buying. The inside one was removed and so was outside one when the home was remodelled. Without going underneath the house can I find out what those numbers are?





I have called Division of motor vehicles, the manufacuturer, the register of deeds, the banks where the home was financed by previous owners, etc. We do not have a title because it is being sold as real property, cannot find the previous owners information and he is uncooperative due to foreclosure.





thanks for help.Who would have serial numbers on a mobile home?
It should be on the hitch and inside the unit,usually in the closet or near the electrical panel box. The county where it was moved may have it, and the lender should definitely have it or they could not have made a loan against it. Keep trying.Who would have serial numbers on a mobile home?
Is it a mobile home or manufactured home? These are two different types of property that you are asking a question about.





Mobile homes can not be sold as real property because they are not attached to a foundation. Manufactured homes can because they are attached to a foundation.





If the numbers were removed I would certainly take that as a red flag and not buy it. Something is fishy here. By law, those numbers must be registered so you are looking possibily into buying stolen property.





Mobile homes must be licensed and registered with the DMV or BMV (depends on where you live). Manufactured homes have plates that are stamped and also frames are stamped with the serial number.





Because the previous owner is in foreclosure, you should be able to contact the courts or the attorney who is handling the foreclosure for the serial number information and any other information you may need.
Have you tried the local title company? You should be able to give the customer service dept your address/ tax lot number - they should be able to pull up the tax information (especially if its in a foreclosure situation) and sometimes they have the serial or ';x'; numbers listed.


Since it is being sold as real property then the mobile home has to have been ';detitled'; and then it will be taxed as a regular ';stick-built'; home.
It is possible that it would be on the hitch if this hasn't been detached. Try also looking in your electric panel box sometimes it is printed inside there. You may have to have someone look underneath to see if it is imprinted anywhere
Geez, this is tough. Sometimes there is one on the electric service, somewhere along the front frame of the structure, occasionally you will find it stamped on a kitchen cabinet.
If the hitch is still attached it may be on there. Call the tax office and see if they can help.
Unless they have features or I guess decorated a certain way they all pretty much look the same to me !! I have went to the wRoNg ones a few times long ago !! My grand-father had one !! %26amp; when he would park amongst others that look very close to his.. well I've had pancakes in a few wrong mobile~homes a few times !! All I guess I learned from that is how to run away from homes lol from being kicked out of a few!! thinking it was my grand~dad's lol[btw] the serial numbers would further help determine who's is who's ?lol?`'R';r,r'r`r`.a`.wWw''r';R';r,.-
