Mobile and manufactured homes are personal property. They are only treated as a part of the land (i.e., as “real property”) when properly sited on a lot or parcel owned by the owner of the home and approved by the local authorities. Then, a deed to the land conveys the manufactured home as well, since they are combined under a single ownership.

Background. Although the Shepard case arose under the non-MHP section of the Act (pre-90.505) the principle is the same for MHPs.
