§ 12-49-1190 — Tax sale of mobile or manufactured home; service of notice.

When a mobile or manufactured home is levied upon for taxes by the tax collector, the tax collector shall give at least forty-five days' written notice before the date of the tax sale to lienholders by following the procedures provided in Section 12-49-1220, except as otherwise provided in Section 12-49-1220(D). The period of forty- five days begins to run from the time the notice is delivered personally or from the date of its mailing. The notice must contain a description of the mobile or manufactured home levied upon, including the year, make or model, size and serial number, the name of the owner, the address and zip code where the mobile or manufactured home is located, the year or years for which the taxes were assessed, and a statement of the amount of the taxes with the accrued costs. The notice must be delivered to the lienholders, either personally or by certified mail with return receipt requested, at the addresses obtained by the tax collector by following the procedures provided for in Section 12-49-1220. If delivered personally, the tax collector shall obtain a signed receipt from the lienholder. Although a separate notice must be prepared for each mobile or manufactured home to be sold, a tax collector may enclose in the same package or envelope multiple notices to be given to the same lienholder at the same address.
