Ownership and registration records
Locate the original HCD Certificate of Title or ownership document, the most recent registration card, decal and serial numbers, and any lienholder information. Do not assume a county assessor record replaces an HCD ownership record.
Tax and fee records
Determine whether the home is on local property tax or annual HCD registration. A local-property-tax transfer commonly requires a county tax clearance certificate. Past-due registration or fees can also affect the transfer.
Park and occupancy documents
Collect the current rental agreement, park rules, notices about space rent, and the buyer application packet. Ask management which documents may be shared and which steps the seller must complete.
Home and improvement records
Organize permits, alteration approvals, warranties, repair invoices, appliance information, and any inspection reports you already have. Records can support an accurate description, but they should never be used to hide a known condition issue.
Placerville-area document checks
Match every document to the exact park and address. This matters where nearby communities share similar names or roads. Golden West and Annas Oaks use opposite street numbers on Parkway Drive, while Blackberry Meadows and Mountain View Mobile Manor are both on Newtown Road.
Also distinguish the geographic community from the postal address. Some Diamond Springs properties use Placerville in the mailing address. Keep the HCD record, registration, park agreement, tax information, and buyer application together so a mailing-city difference is not mistaken for an ownership problem.
