Answer:

Mobile homes in California are typically registered with the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). The HCD oversees the registration, titling and regulation of mobile homes and manufactured homes in the state. The HCD also inspects parks for safety and health regulations under circumstances in which local government agencies are unable or yet to assume enforcement.

Mobile home owners are required to register their mobile homes with HCD and obtain a Certificate of Title. This certificate serves as proof of ownership and is similar to the title for a traditional site-built home or vehicle. For any specific information regarding your mobile home’s registration, you can contact the office of the HCD by phone, email, or through the HCD’s official website.
