HB 435 Alabama House · 2026 Regular Session

Manufactured Homes; certificate of title for 1999 models and earlier, Alabama Department of Revenue authorized to issue titles upon request

HB 435 allows Alabama's Department of Revenue to issue title certificates for manufactured homes manufactured in 1999 or earlier upon request. This directly affects owners of older manufactured homes who currently lack title documentation. The bill authorizes the Department of Revenue to process these title requests without requiring new inspections or fees beyond standard procedures. It takes effect on January 1, 2027, and does not change existing requirements for newer manufactured homes. The bill is procedural, focusing on expanding title issuance options for a specific age group of homes.
