(1) Whenever any resident of the state acquires the ownership of a manufactured
home, located or to be located in the state of Colorado, by purchase, gift, or
otherwise, for which a certificate of title has been issued under the laws of a state
other than the state of Colorado, the person so acquiring such home upon acquiring
the same shall make application to the director or his authorized agent for a
certificate of title as in other cases.
(2) If any dealer acquires the ownership by any lawful means whatsoever of a
manufactured home, the title to which is registered under the laws of and in a state
other than the state of Colorado, such dealer shall not be required to procure a
Colorado certificate of title therefor so long as such home remains in the dealer's
inventory for sale and for no other purpose.
(3) Upon the sale by a dealer of a manufactured home, the certificate of title
to which was issued in a state other than Colorado, the dealer shall immediately
deliver to the purchaser or transferee such certificate of title from a state other
than Colorado duly and properly endorsed or assigned to the purchaser or
transferee, together with the dealer's statement, which shall contain or be
accompanied by a written declaration that it is made under the penalties of perjury
in the second degree, as defined in section 18-8-503, C.R.S., and which shall set
forth the following:
(a) That such dealer has warranted and, by the execution of such affidavit,
does warrant to the purchaser or transferee and all persons claiming or who shall
claim under, by, or through the named purchaser or transferee that, at the time of
the sale, transfer, and delivery thereof by the dealer, the manufactured home
therein described was free and clear of all liens and mortgages, except those which
might otherwise appear therein;
(b) That the home therein described is not stolen; and
(c) That such dealer had good, sure, and adequate title thereto and full right
and authority to sell and transfer the same.
(4) If the purchaser or transferee of the said manufactured home
accompanies his application for a Colorado certificate of title to such home with the
affidavit required by subsection (3) of this section and the duly endorsed or
assigned certificate of title from a state other than Colorado, a Colorado certificate
of title therefor may issue in the same manner as upon the sale or transfer of a
manufactured home for which a Colorado certificate of title has been issued. Upon
the issuance by the director of such certificate of title, he shall dispose of the same
as provided in section 38-29-111.
(5) Each dealer, on or before the fifteenth day of each month, on a form to be
provided therefor, shall prepare, subscribe, and send to the auto theft division of
the Colorado state patrol a complete description of each manufactured home held
by such dealer during the preceding calendar month, or any part thereof, the
certificate of title to which was issued by a state other than the state of Colorado or
which home was registered under the laws of a state other than the state of
Colorado and for which no application for a Colorado certificate of title has been
made as provided in this section.
(6) If any person acquires the ownership in a manufactured home for which a
certificate of title has been issued under the laws of a state other than the state of
Colorado and such home is transported to a site where it is permanently affixed to
the ground so that it is no longer capable of being drawn over the public highways,
such person shall not be required to procure a new certificate of title as is
otherwise required by this article. The owner shall file a certificate of permanent
location along with the certificate of title or the manufacturer's certificate or
statement of origin or its equivalent with the clerk and recorder for the county or
city and county in which the manufactured home is permanently affixed to the
ground. The manufactured home shall become real property upon the filing and
recording of such documents in accordance with section 38-29-202. The provisions
of articles 30 to 44 of this title and of any other law of this state shall be applicable
to manufactured homes that have become real property pursuant to this subsection
(6) and to instruments creating, disposing of, or otherwise affecting such real
property wherever such provisions would be applicable to estates, rights, and
interests in land or to instruments creating, disposing of, or otherwise affecting
estates, rights, and interests in land.
