Manufactured Home Moving Permit Application – Durham NC

The Manufactured Home Moving Permit Application is the Durham County Tax Administration form that identifies a manufactured home and the people and places involved in moving it: the owner, the transporter, the destination and, in a repossession, the lender.

The form is headed "Application for a Manufactured Home Moving Permit" and is issued by the Tax Administration Department of Durham County Government, Collections Division. It is divided into labeled blocks:

• The home itself: make, model/year, size and serial number.
• Tax Liability Information: the owner on January 1 of the current year, that owner's current mailing address, the purchase date, and the home's physical location as of January 1, with park name and lot number.
• New Owner Information, completed only if the owner is different from the one above.
• Mover Information: the transporter's name, mailing and physical addresses and telephone number.
• Relocation Information: the physical location the home is being moved to, with park name, lot number and county.
• Repossession Information: the lender's name, mailing address and telephone number.

The form states the rule behind the permit: all taxes on the manufactured home, including taxes not yet computed that will become due during the current calendar year, must be paid in full before a moving permit will be issued (GS 105-316.2). The county's personal property page lists mobile homes among the property handled by its Individual Personal Property section.

Owners of a manufactured home in Durham County who want to move it use this application, because the permit is not issued until the home's taxes are paid in full.

Other parties appear on the form:

• Current owner or new owner. The first block records the owner on January 1 of the current year. If ownership has changed, the New Owner Information block is completed with the current owner, mailing address, purchase date and the home's current physical location.
• Transporter. The mover's name, addresses and telephone number go in the Mover Information block.
• Lender. The Repossession Information block asks for the name, mailing address and telephone number of the lender; it applies to a repossession situation.

The form does not say who may sign for an owner and has no signature block, so ask Tax Administration at 919 560 0300 if someone other than the owner will handle the application.

Use the application when a manufactured home in Durham County is going to be moved and a moving permit is needed. The form prints no separate due date.

The timing condition it does print concerns taxes: all taxes on the home, including those not yet computed that will become due during the current calendar year, must be paid in full before a moving permit will be issued. Taxes therefore have to be settled before the permit, not after the move. The form also asks for the owner and the home's physical location as of January 1 of the current year, so have those details from that date ready. For how long the county needs to issue a permit, contact Tax Administration at 919 560 0300.

The form names no submission channel of its own. It prints the contact details of Durham County Tax Administration, Collections Division, which is where to ask how the application is accepted:

• Mail or in person: Durham County Tax Administration Dept., 201 E. Main St, 3rd Floor, Durham, NC 27702, or P.O. Box 3397, Durham, NC 27702.
• Telephone: 919 560 0300.
• Fax: 919 328 6179.
• Website: www.DCONC.Gov/Tax.

Confirm with the department which of these it accepts for the application before you send it. Because the permit is issued only after all taxes on the home are paid in full (GS 105-316.2), also ask the department what is owed and how to pay it; the form does not state a fee or a payment method.
