A Mobile Home Permit must be obtained any time ownership changes or relocating the mobile home.
The current owner must bring the mobile home’s title to the County Treasurer’s Office to apply.
Before finalizing a sale, the seller must provide the buyer with a valid transfer permit.
This rule does not apply to auctioned homes sold under IC 9-22-1.5 or IC 9-22-1.7.
Failure to comply may result in a Class C infraction under IC 6-1.1-7-14.
All property taxes must be paid in full before a permit can be issued—including unpaid taxes from previous owners.
If applying after January 1st, current year taxes due on May 10 and November 10, plus any prior balances, must be paid.
The Title Transfer Permit helps prevent the former owner from being held responsible for future tax payments.
Simply notifying the County Assessor does not transfer tax liability or legal ownership.
Apply for a Title Transfer Permit at the County Treasurer’s Office no later than 3:30 PM for same day Permit or Title transfer.
Take the permit and the mobile home title to the Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV) to complete the transfer.
Permits are valid for 90 days from the issue date.
If you're planning a mobile home sale or move, this permit is a critical step in protecting both parties and ensuring compliance. For questions or assistance, please contact the County Treasurer’s Office at 765-342-1048 or by email [email protected]
