Mobile Home Request – Bexar County, TX

The Mobile Home Request, printed on the form as Manufactured Home Statement from Tax Assessor-Collector, is the Bexar County Tax Assessor-Collector form used to request a Mobile Home Statement, which is required to transfer ownership of a manufactured home through the Texas Department of Manufactured Housing and Community Affairs (TDHCA).

The form says Mobile Home Statements are issued in compliance with Section 1201.206(g) of the Texas Occupations Code and Section 32.03 of the Texas Property Tax Code. The request asks for the date of sale, the account number, the label number, the certified owner, the property address, the requestor's name and phone number, the release of lien years and a delivery preference (mailing address or e-mail address).

The statement is not a tax bill and not a payment form. The Tax Office issues it only after the tax year in which the sale occurred and all previous years' taxes are paid in full. The form states that the requirement does not apply to manufactured homes declared as real property with TDHCA. A block marked for tax office use only is reserved for the county's processing notes and is not completed by the requestor.

Anyone who needs a Mobile Home Statement to transfer ownership of a manufactured home through TDHCA requests it on this form from the Bexar County Tax Assessor-Collector. The form has a line for the requestor's name and phone number, separate from the certified owner, so the person submitting the request may differ from the owner of record.

Conditions that come with the request:

• The tax year in which the sale occurred and all previous years' taxes must be paid in full before the statement can be issued.
• If the sale occurred January through September, the estimated current year tax must also be paid in full. The form points you to the office at (210) 335-6608 for the estimated amount.

Who does not need it: the form says the statement requirement does not apply to manufactured homes declared as real property with TDHCA. The form does not describe who may sign for another person.

Submit the request when you need the Mobile Home Statement to transfer ownership of the manufactured home through TDHCA, and only after the tax year in which the sale occurred and all previous years' taxes are paid in full. If the sale occurred January through September, the estimated current year tax must be paid in full too; the form's payment box adds that the estimated payment is required if the sale date falls January through September or before certification, and that payment should be sent with the request. The form prints no separate due date.

Allow up to 10 business days to process the request. The form also notes a 15-day waiting period for personal checks and credit card payments to clear, so plan for that before you need the statement. Certificates are mailed or e-mailed according to the delivery preference you mark.

The form gives two ways to send the request: by e-mail with online payment, or by mail with a check.
