Trailer Titles

House Trailers

In order to transfer title to a House Trailer it is mandatory that both the Treasurer's and the Auditor's office, in the County where the trailer was sited verify that all taxes have been paid. If so, they will stamp the title "HOUSE TRAILER TRANSFER APPROVED." If this stamp does not appear on the title, the seller must contact the Treasurer and Auditor of the appropriate county.
