11.18 	amount which, with all other existing indebtedness secured by the property, would exceed 
11.19 	110 percent of its market value, as determined by the agency. No loan under this subdivision 
11.20 	for the rehabilitation of owner-occupied housing shall be denied solely because the loan

11.22 	all state, county, or municipal building, housing maintenance, fire, health, or similar codes

11.25 	lenders upon equivalent terms and conditions. Accessibility rehabilitation loans authorized 
11.26 	under this subdivision may be made to eligible persons and families without limitations 
11.27 	relating to the maximum incomes of the borrowers if:

11.32 	(3) the improvement will enable the borrower or a member of the borrower's family to 
11.33 	reside in the housing.
12.1 	The agency may waive any requirement that the housing units in a residential housing

12.7 	make loans to persons and families of low and moderate income to rehabilitate or to assist 
12.8 	in rehabilitating existing residential housing owned and occupied by those persons or

12.11 	work necessary for health or safety, essential accessibility improvements, or to improve the 
12.12 	energy efficiency of the dwelling. No loan for rehabilitation of owner-occupied residential 
12.13 	housing shall be denied solely because the loan will not be used for placing the residential 
12.14 	housing in full compliance with all state, county or municipal building, housing maintenance, 
12.15 	fire, health or similar codes and standards applicable to housing. The amount of any loan 
12.16 	shall not exceed the lesser of (a) a maximum loan amount determined under rules adopted 
12.17 	by the agency not to exceed $27,000 $37,500, or (b) the actual cost of the work performed, 
12.18 	or (c) that portion of the cost of rehabilitation which the agency determines cannot otherwise 
12.19 	be paid by the person or family without the expenditure of an unreasonable portion of the 
12.20 	income of the person or family. Loans made in whole or in part with federal funds may 
12.21 	exceed the maximum loan amount to the extent necessary to comply with federal lead 
12.22 	abatement requirements prescribed by the funding source. In making loans, the agency shall 
12.23 	determine the circumstances under which and the terms and conditions under which all or 
12.24 	any portion of the loan will be repaid and shall determine the appropriate security for the 
12.25 	repayment of the loan. Loans pursuant to this subdivision may be made with or without

19.6 		Subd. 3.Perfected security interest prevents surrender. The department may not 
19.7 	cancel a certificate of title if, under this chapter, a security interest has been perfected on 
19.8 	the manufactured home. If a security interest has been perfected, the department must notify 
19.9 	the owner that each secured party must release or satisfy the security interest prior to 
19.10 	proceeding with surrender of the manufacturer's certificate of origin or certificate of title to 
19.11 	the department for cancellation. Permanent attachment to real property or the recording of 
19.12 	an affidavit of affixation does not extinguish an otherwise valid security interest in or tax 
19.13 	lien on the manufactured home, unless the requirements of subdivisions 1 to 3, including 
19.14 	the release of any security interest, have been satisfied.
19.15 		Subd. 4.Notice of security interest.  When a perfected security interest exists, or will 
19.16 	exist, on the manufactured home at the time the manufactured home is affixed to real 
19.17 	property, and the owner has not satisfied the requirements of subdivision 1, the owner of 
19.18 	the manufactured home, or its secured party, may record a notice with the county recorder, 
19.19 	or with the registrar of titles, if the land is registered, stating that the manufactured home 
19.20 	located on the property is encumbered by a perfected security interest and is not an 
19.21 	improvement to real property. The notice must state the name and address of the secured 
19.22 	party as set forth on the certificate of title, the legal description of the real property, and the 
19.23 	name and address of the record fee owner of the real property on which the manufactured 
19.24 	home is affixed. When the security interest is released or satisfied, the secured party must 
19.25 	attach a copy of the release or satisfaction to a notice executed by the secured party containing 
19.26 	the county recorder or registrar of titles document number of the notice of security interest. 
19.27 	The notice of release or satisfaction must be recorded with the county recorder, or registrar 
19.28 	of titles, if the land is registered. Neither the notice described in this subdivision nor the 
19.29 	security interest on the certificate of title is deemed to be an encumbrance on the real 
19.30 	property. The notices provided for in this subdivision need not be acknowledged.
19.31 		Subd. 5.Scaled drawing. (a) If the portion of the land occupied by the homeowner has 
19.32 	not been subdivided, the nonprofit or cooperative owner shall have prepared and recorded 
19.33 	against the land a scaled drawing prepared by a licensed professional land surveyor who 
19.34 	shall certify that:
20.1 	(1) the scaled drawing accurately depicts all information required by this subdivision; 
20.2 	and
20.3 	(2) the work was undertaken by, or reviewed and approved by, the certifying land 
20.4 	surveyor.
20.5 	(b) The scaled drawing shall show:
20.6 	(1) the dimensions and location of all existing material structural improvements and 
20.7 	roadways;
20.8 	(2) the extent of any encroachments by or upon any portion of the land;
20.9 	(3) the location and dimensions of all recorded easements within the land burdening any 
20.10 	portion of the land;
20.11 	(4) the distance and direction between noncontiguous parcels of real estate;
20.12 	(5) the location and dimensions of the front, rear, and side boundaries of each lot that a 
20.13 	member of the cooperative or nonprofit corporation has a right to occupy and that lot's 
20.14 	unique lot number; and
20.15 	(6) the legal description of the land.

20.16 	Sec. 2. [168A.1412] MANUFACTURED HOME AFFIXED TO REAL PROPERTY.
20.17 		Subdivision 1.Manufactured home as real property.  A manufactured home may be 
20.18 	made an improvement to real property, and no longer titled as personal property, pursuant 
20.19 	to this section. A manufactured home constitutes an improvement to real property when:
20.20 	(1) the manufactured home is to be affixed or is affixed, as defined in section 273.125, 
20.21 	subdivision 8, paragraph (b), to the real property;
20.22 	(2) the certificate of title is surrendered and canceled pursuant to subdivision 2, or the 
20.23 	manufacturer's certificate or statement of origin is canceled pursuant to subdivision 3; and
20.24 	(3) an affidavit of affixation pursuant to subdivision 5 is recorded with the county recorder 
20.25 	or registrar of titles, as applicable.
20.26 		Subd. 2.Surrender of certificate of title. (a) The owner of the manufactured home 
20.27 	may surrender the manufacturer's certificate of title to the commissioner for cancellation. 
20.28 	Upon receipt of the certificate of title, the commissioner must issue notice of cancellation 
20.29 	to the owner of the manufactured home. In the event the certificate of title is lost, stolen, 
20.30 	mutilated, destroyed, or becomes illegible, the owner may submit a written request for 
20.31 	cancellation of the title which includes the serial number of the manufactured home and 
21.1 	states that the certificate of title is lost, stolen, mutilated, destroyed, or has become illegible. 
21.2 	Upon receipt of the request and verification of ownership in Driver and Vehicle Services 
21.3 	Division records, the commissioner must issue notice of cancellation to the owner of the 
21.4 	manufactured home and must not require the owner to deliver the certificate of title or obtain 
21.5 	a duplicate certificate of title. After canceling a certificate of title, the commissioner must 
21.6 	not allow transfer of the title to the manufactured home as personal property. The 
21.7 	commissioner must not require the owner of the manufactured home to deliver the affidavit 
21.8 	of affixation described in subdivision 5 in order for the commissioner to issue notice of 
21.9 	cancellation.
21.10 	(b) The commissioner must not cancel a certificate of title if, under this chapter, a security 
21.11 	interest has been perfected on the manufactured home. If a security interest has been 
21.12 	perfected, the commissioner must notify the owner of the manufactured home that each 
21.13 	secured party must release or satisfy the security interest prior to cancellation of the certificate 
21.14 	of title by the commissioner. Affixing the manufactured home to real property or recording 
21.15 	an affidavit of affixation without cancellation of the certificate of title does not extinguish 
21.16 	an otherwise valid security interest in or tax lien on the manufactured home.
21.17 		Subd. 3.Surrender of manufacturer's certificate of origin.  The owner of the 
21.18 	manufactured home may surrender the manufacturer's certificate of origin to the 
21.19 	commissioner for cancellation. Upon delivery of the original certificate of origin, the 
21.20 	commissioner must issue notice of cancellation to the owner of the manufactured home. 
21.21 	The commissioner must not issue a certificate of title for a manufactured home if the 
21.22 	manufacturer's certificate of origin is or has been canceled under this subdivision, except 
21.23 	as provided in section 168A.142. The commissioner must not require the owner of the 
21.24 	manufactured home to deliver the affidavit of affixation described in subdivision 5 in order 
21.25 	for the commissioner to cancel the certificate of origin.
21.26 		Subd. 4.Verification. The commissioner is not liable for any errors, omissions, 
21.27 	misstatements, or other deficiencies or inaccuracies in documents presented to the 
21.28 	commissioner under this section if the documents presented appear to satisfy the requirements 
21.29 	of this section. The commissioner has no obligation to investigate the accuracy of statements

23.31 	Sec. 3. Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 273.125, subdivision 8, is amended to read:

24.3 	electrical systems in it. Manufactured home includes any accessory structure that is an 
24.4 	addition or supplement to the manufactured home and, when installed, becomes a part of 
24.5 	the manufactured home.
24.6 	(b) Except as provided in paragraph (c), a manufactured home that meets each of the 
24.7 	following criteria must be valued and assessed as an improvement to real property, the 
24.8 	appropriate real property classification applies, and the valuation is subject to review and 
24.9 	the taxes payable in the manner provided for real property:
24.10 	(1) the owner of the unit holds title to the land on which it is situated is held by: (i) the 
24.11 	owner of the unit; or (ii) a Minnesota nonprofit corporation or a Minnesota cooperative to 
24.12 	which the owner is a member;
24.13 	(2) the unit is affixed to the land by a permanent foundation or is installed at its location 
24.14 	in accordance with the Manufactured Home Building Code in sections 327.31 to 327.34, 
24.15 	and rules adopted under those sections, or is affixed to the land like other real property in 
24.16 	the taxing district; and
24.17 	(3) the unit is connected to public utilities, has a well and septic tank system, or is serviced 
24.18 	by water and sewer facilities comparable to other real property in the taxing district.
24.19 	(c) A manufactured home that meets each of the following criteria must be assessed at 
24.20 	the rate provided by the appropriate real property classification but must be treated as 
24.21 	personal property, and the valuation is subject to review and the taxes payable in the manner 
24.22 	provided in this section:
24.23 	(1) the owner of the unit is a lessee of the land under the terms of a lease, or the unit is 
24.24 	located in a manufactured home park but is not the homestead of the park owner;
24.25 	(2) the unit is affixed to the land by a permanent foundation or is installed at its location

24.32 	if the owner of the structure holds title to the land on which it is located or is a qualifying 
24.33 	lessee of the land under section 273.19. In this paragraph "sectional structure" means a 
25.1 	building or structural unit that has been in whole or substantial part manufactured or 
25.2 	constructed at an off-site location to be wholly or partially assembled on site alone or with 
25.3 	other units and attached to a permanent foundation.
25.4 	(e) The commissioner of revenue may adopt rules under the Administrative Procedure 
25.5 	Act to establish additional criteria for the classification of manufactured homes and sectional 
25.6 	structures under this subdivision.

25.8 	or rented as a site for a manufactured home, sectional structure, park trailer, or travel trailer 
25.9 	is taxable as provided in this section. In the case of property that is leased or rented as a site 
25.10 	for a travel trailer, a storage shed, deck, or similar improvement on the site that is considered 
25.11 	personal property under this paragraph is taxable only if its total estimated market value is 
25.12 	over $10,000. The property is taxable as personal property to the lessee of the site if it is

25.14 	the owner of the site. As a condition of permitting the owner of the manufactured home, 
25.15 	sectional structure, park trailer, or travel trailer to construct improvements on the leased or 
25.16 	rented site, the owner of the site must obtain the permanent home address of the lessee or 
25.17 	user of the site. The site owner must provide the name and address to the assessor upon 
25.18 	request.

Subd. 2.Perfected security interest prevents surrender. 
The department may not cancel a certificate of title if, under this chapter, a security interest has been perfected on the manufactured home. If a security interest has been perfected, the department must notify the owner that each secured party must release or satisfy the security interest prior to proceeding with surrender of the manufacturer's certificate of origin or certificate of title to the department for cancellation. Permanent attachment to real property or the recording of an affidavit of affixation does not extinguish an otherwise valid security interest in or tax lien on the manufactured home, unless the requirements of section 168A.141, subdivisions 1, 1a, and 2, including the release of any security interest, have been satisfied. 

Subd. 3.Notice of security interest. 
 When a perfected security interest exists, or will exist, on the manufactured home at the time the manufactured home is affixed to real property, and the owner has not satisfied the requirements of section 168A.141, subdivision 1, the owner of the manufactured home, or its secured party, may record a notice with the county recorder, or with the registrar of titles, if the land is registered, stating that the manufactured home located on the property is encumbered by a perfected security interest and is not an improvement to real property. The notice must state the name and address of the secured party as set forth on the certificate of title, the legal description of the real property, and the name and address of the record fee owner of the real property on which the manufactured home is affixed. When the security interest is released or satisfied, the secured party must attach a copy of the release or satisfaction to a notice executed by the secured party containing the county recorder or registrar of titles document number of the notice of security interest. The notice of release or satisfaction must be recorded with the county recorder, or registrar of titles, if the land is registered. Neither the notice described in this subdivision nor the security interest on the certificate of title is deemed to be an encumbrance on the real property. The notices provided for in this subdivision need not be acknowledged.
