Section 32-20-31Transfer of interest by dealer. (a) If a dealer buys a manufactured home and holds it for resale and procures the certificate of title from the owner or the lienholder he or she need not send the certificate to the department but, upon transferring the manufactured home to another person other than by the creation of a security interest, shall promptly execute the assignment and warranty of title by a dealer, showing the names and addresses of the transferee and of any lienholder holding a security interest created or reserved at the time of the resale and the date of his or her security agreement, in the spaces provided therefor on the certificate or as the department prescribes, and mail or deliver the certificate to a designated agent with the transferee's application for a new certificate. (b) Every dealer shall maintain for five years a record in the form the department prescribes of every manufactured home bought, sold, or exchanged by him or her or received by him or her for sale or exchange, which shall be open to inspection by representatives of the department and law-enforcement officers during reasonable business hours.

2021 Code of Alabama|Title 32 - Motor Vehicles and Traffic.|Chapter 20 - Manufactured Home Certificate of Title Act.|Article 2|Section 32-20-32 - Involuntary Transfer of Interest.

Section 32-20-32Involuntary transfer of interest. (a) If the interest of an owner in a manufactured home passes to another other than by voluntary transfer, the transferee, except as hereinafter provided in subsection (b), shall promptly mail or deliver to a designated agent the last certificate of title, if available, and proof of the transfer, together with his or her application for a new certificate in the form the department prescribes. If the interest of an owner in a manufactured home passes to another other than by voluntary transfer, and the manufactured home is permanently affixed to the real property and the owner of the manufactured home and the real property are the same then the transferee, except as hereinafter provided in subsection (b), shall promptly mail or deliver to a designated agent the last certificate of title, if available, and proof of the transfer, together with his or her application for a certificate of cancellation in the form the department prescribes. (b) If the interest of the owner is terminated or the manufactured home is sold under a security agreement by a lienholder named in the certificate of title, the transferee shall promptly make application to a designated agent for a new certificate of title in the form the department prescribes. The application shall be accompanied by the last certificate of title and an affidavit made by or on behalf of the lienholder that the manufactured home was repossessed and that the interest of the owner was lawfully terminated or sold pursuant to the terms of the security agreement. If the lienholder succeeds to the interest of the owner and holds the manufactured home for resale, he or she need not secure a new certificate of title but, upon transfer to another person, shall promptly mail or deliver to the transferee the certificate, affidavit, and other documents required by the department. The transferee shall promptly make application to a designated agent for a new certificate in the form prescribed by the department. (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this section, a person holding a certificate of title whose interest in the manufactured home has been extinguished or transferred other than by voluntary transfer shall forthwith mail or deliver the certificate to the department upon request of the department; and the delivery of the certificate pursuant to the request of the department does not affect the rights of the person surrendering the certificate; and the action of the department in issuing a new certificate of title as provided herein is not conclusive upon the rights of an owner or lienholder named in the old certificate.
