HB 2341 requires a complete Affidavit of Sale be filed with the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) prior to issuance of a certificate of title for a mobile home.

History

Arizona law currently requires mobile homes to have certificates of title filed with ADOT’s Motor Vehicle Division (MVD). These certificates of title are similar to the ones issued for vehicles. There is a seven dollar fee for a mobile home certificate of title.

HB 2341 establishes an Affidavit of Sale as a requirement prior to issuance of a mobile home certificate of title.

Provisions

· Requires a mobile home purchaser, purchaser’s agent or seller’s agent to file an Affidavit of Sale with ADOT. If ADOT does not receive an Affidavit of Sale or receives an incomplete Affidavit of Sale, ADOT shall not issue a certificate of title.

· Defines complete Affidavit of Sale as having all the required information or indicating that the information required is not applicable.

· Stipulates that the Department of Revenue and ADOT shall approve the Affidavit of Sale form submitted.

HB 2341 was amended in the Commerce and Economic Development Committee:

§ Establishes the penalty for knowingly falsifying information on the Affidavit of Sale as a class 2 misdemeanor (4 months in jail/$750 fine).

§ Makes the effective date from and after Dec. 31, 2001.
