New Hampshire Mobile Home Bill of Sale Overview
In New Hampshire, a mobile home bill of sale is a critical document for any private party manufactured home transaction. New Hampshire requires a bill of sale along with a properly signed certificate of title to transfer ownership of a manufactured home classified as personal property. The bill of sale serves as the primary record of the sale price, which is used to calculate any applicable taxes.
New Hampshire is unique in that it treats all manufactured homes as real property by statute, regardless of whether they are on owned or rented land. This means manufactured homes in parks are taxed as real property by the municipality.
Whether you're selling a single-wide in a mobile home park, transferring a double-wide on private land, or purchasing a modular home in New Hampshire, a properly completed bill of sale protects both parties and streamlines the title transfer process.

How to Fill Out a New Hampshire Mobile Home Bill of Sale
Follow these steps to properly complete your New Hampshire mobile home bill of sale. Our template guides you through each field to ensure compliance with New Hampshire requirements.
Enter Seller Information
Include the seller's full legal name as it appears on the mobile home title, current New Hampshire mailing address, and phone number. If the title lists multiple owners, determine if all must sign based on how the title reads ("and" vs. "or").
Enter Buyer Information
Include the buyer's full legal name exactly as it should appear on the new title, current address, and phone number. If the home will be placed in a mobile home park, include the park name and lot number.
Describe the Mobile Home
Enter the manufacturer name, year built, model, serial number (VIN), and HUD certification label number(s). Include the number of sections, dimensions (width x length), total square footage, and number of bedrooms and bathrooms. Verify the serial number matches the title.
Document Property Classification
Indicate whether the home is classified as real property or personal property in New Hampshire. Note whether it sits on owned land or rented land, whether wheels and axles are attached or removed, and the current physical location of the home.
State the Sale Price
Enter the agreed purchase price in both numbers and words. Clarify whether the sale includes only the home, or the home plus land, fixtures, and appliances. New Hampshire does not charge sales tax, but other fees may apply.
Sign and Date
Both the buyer and seller must sign and date the bill of sale. Print two copies — one for each party. New Hampshire does not require notarization, but it is recommended for added legal protection. Complete the title transfer within 30 days.
Real vs. Personal Property in New Hampshire
Understanding property classification is critical when buying or selling a mobile home in New Hampshire. The classification affects how the home is taxed, financed, insured, and transferred.
New Hampshire is unique in that it treats all manufactured homes as real property by statute, regardless of whether they are on owned or rented land. This means manufactured homes in parks are taxed as real property by the municipality.
New Hampshire Title Elimination Process
Since New Hampshire treats all manufactured homes as real property, there is no need for a title elimination process. Homes in parks still have titles for ownership transfer purposes, but they are taxed as real property. When a home is on owned land, the title can be surrendered and the home becomes part of the real estate deed.
