§ 344-D SECTION 344-D Disposition of liens

RPL § 344-D · effective 2026-12-12

§ 344-d. Disposition of liens. Neither the act of affixing a manufactured home to real property, nor the recording of the affidavit of affixation shall impair the rights of any holder of a security interest in a manufactured home perfected as provided in section twenty-one hundred eighteen of the vehicle and traffic law, unless and until the due filing with and acceptance by the commissioner of motor vehicles of an application to surrender the title and a release of any lien as provided in section twenty-one hundred twenty-one of the vehicle and traffic law. Upon the filing of such a release, the security interest created under the vehicle and traffic law terminates. The recording of an affidavit of affixation does not change the character of the lien noted on a certificate of title, and no mortgage recording tax shall be imposed at the time an affidavit of affixation is recorded or upon any lien upon a manufactured home created under the vehicle and traffic law.
