Transfer of a Kentucky Titled Mobile Home
Currently, there are several types of Kentucky Titles that have been issued for mobile homes. Titles issued after February 2000 have the assignment portion and vehicle transaction record (VTR) form combined on the back of the Certificate of Title. These titles would not require the Application for title/registration (VTR Vehicle Transaction Record-Form # TC96-182) in order to transfer a mobile home. Titles issued prior to February 2000 only have the assignment portion on the back of the Certificate of Title and would require the Application for Title/Registration (VTR Vehicle Transaction Record-Form # TC96-182) in order to transfer a mobile home.
