I want to sell or move my mobile home, what do I do?
Make sure all taxes are paid up to date. You can do this at the County Treasurer’s Office, whether moving or selling the home.
The Treasurer’s Office will complete a tax certificate at the time you take care of your taxes which will be taken to the Secretary of State’s Office; this certificate is needed for selling the mobile home.
In the event of a sale, the tax certificate and a copy of the signed over title must be taken to the Secretary of State’s Office in order to obtain a new title.
Moving permits are issued by the County Treasurer’s Office. Again, you must take care of all taxes before the permit will be issued.

Did you get a completed tax certificate from the Treasurer’s Office?
The owner of the home must take care of all steps listed above before a title can be transferred. This is the responsibility of the homeowner.

What do I need to do?
Get the location cleared with your local zoning office; they will make sure there are no covenants regarding mobile homes. Register your property with your Assessor. Be sure to contact the mobile home registration office at (217) 753-6725 to ensure you have all the proper forms on file, you may not need to file any documents-but it is better to be overly cautious.
When are tax bills due?
The bill amount is always due on or before August 1st, regardless of the date the bills were mailed. The mailing is done from mid-May thru June.
