5. I bought a manufactured home. It is on a permanent foundation. How is this handled?

Usually, a title (called an MSO - Manufacturer's Statement of Origin) for the manufactured home is kept by the mortgage company. The home is inspected by the Assessor's Office and treated like a standard home on the tax roll. You must contact the county Building Department, Sales and Use Tax Department, and the county Assessor's Office for proper filing.

The Building Department and Assessor's Office must be contacted. If the mobile home is successfully combined with a Real Property Schedule, the mobile home title must be purged, as it is no longer taxed as a mobile home. the county Treasurer requires the title, a signed request to purge form, and that the taxes are paid. this information is sent to the State of Colorado. There is no charge for this.
