Motor home owners can affix their vehicles to land and change the property designation from “vehicle” to “real estate.” Owners can even get a mortgage on the house. But they have found it difficult to change back to “vehicle” status and sell their motor homes.
That process will be simplified under a new law signed April 20 by Gov. Mark Dayton. Effective Aug. 1, 2012, owners will be able to receive a title from the state when un-affixing their motor homes.
Rep. Mark Murdock (R-Ottertail) and Senate President Michelle Fischbach (R-Paynesville) sponsor the law. Murdock said the measure is intended to create a process that did not previously exist for those planning on selling their motor homes.
