Bill > A06901

This bill establishes the "New York land-home property act," which creates a comprehensive framework for converting manufactured homes from personal property to real property. The bill amends existing laws in the vehicle and traffic law and real property law to provide a clear process for manufactured homeowners to convert their homes from movable personal property to fixed real estate. Under the new law, a manufactured home can be considered real property if it is affixed to a permanent foundation, connected to residential utilities, and the owner files an affidavit of affixation with the county recorder. The bill outlines specific procedures for surrendering a manufacturer's certificate of origin or certificate of title, and provides detailed requirements for how this conversion affects property rights, liens, and future transactions. Importantly, the law maintains existing security interests and protects the rights of lienholders during the conversion process. The bill also establishes that once converted, the manufactured home will be treated like any other real property for purposes of conveyance, encumbrance, and legal classification. The new law aims to provide manufactured homeowners with more flexibility and stability in property ownership, while maintaining clear legal protections for all parties involved.
