Mobile & Manufactured Homes · With Land
Older single-wides, double-wides on a lot you own, inherited homes with a missing title — we buy the home and the land together, as-is, in Pinellas and Hillsborough.
The short answer
If you own both the mobile home and the land under it, you can sell them together for cash. The key paperwork question is whether the home still has its own title or the title was retired into the real estate. Either way, the title company sorts it out before closing.

1. Home still has its own title. Many mobile homes keep a separate certificate of title even when they sit on land the same person owns. In that case the land transfers by deed and the home by its title, so you’ll want the original title (or a replacement) in hand.
2. Title retired into the land. Under Florida Statutes §319.261, an owner whose home is permanently affixed to land they own can retire the home’s title. The owner records the original title (with any lien released), the legal description and a sworn statement with the county Clerk, then applies to the state to retire the title. After that the home is conveyed by deed together with the land — it can’t be sold separately unless a new title is issued.
The statute also counts a recorded land lease of 30 years or more as “land owned by that same person” for this purpose.
Under §320.0815, a mobile home permanently affixed to land gets a yearly mobile home sticker — unless it is assessed and taxed as real property, in which case the Tax Collector issues an “RP” series sticker once the Property Appraiser certifies it’s included in the owner’s property assessment. An RP sticker is a good sign the home is already treated as part of the real estate for taxes. It doesn’t by itself mean the title was retired, so we check both.

Mobile homes on their own land can sell well on the open market when they’re in good shape and the paperwork is clean. If that’s you, listing may be your best move, and AL will say so. Where a direct cash sale helps most is the hard cases: repairs, a missing title, an estate, or a deadline.
Yes. If the home still has its own title, the land transfers by deed and the home by its title at the same closing. If the title was retired under Florida Statutes 319.261, the home is conveyed by deed together with the land.
An RP series sticker is issued by the Tax Collector when the Property Appraiser certifies that the mobile home is included in the owner’s real property assessment. It shows the home is taxed as real property; it does not by itself prove the title was retired.
Tell us early. A missing title is a paperwork step that has to be solved before closing, and the title company will tell you exactly what’s needed for your home.
