Selling Near Long Creek: An Honest Starting Point

Long Creek is a small Grant County city in eastern Oregon ranch country, and the 2020 Census counted 173 residents. It is the kind of town where everyone knows the housing stock, and where a manufactured home usually sits on its own land rather than inside a named park.

That distinction matters for this page. Our site directory lists no mobile home park in Long Creek, and web searches found no mobile home park in the city either. What searches did find is an RV park, described below. If you own a manufactured home on land in Long Creek, the sale works differently from a park sale, and the general steps on this page still apply to the title and tax parts.

The RV Park Found in Long Creek

The Hitching Post RV and Camping, at 265 Highway 395 in Long Creek, is an RV park, not a mobile home park. Listings describe it as an 18-site park, with 17 sites offering water, 30-amp power, and sewer, plus a washroom and laundry room. It was listed for sale as a commercial property, so its current status as an operating park should be confirmed before anyone relies on it.

Do not mistake an RV park for a mobile home park. RV sites are generally for recreational vehicles, and a manufactured home sale in a park needs a park that accepts manufactured homes and approves buyers. If your home is on private land, say so plainly in your listing, because land changes the sale entirely.

How the Oregon Sale Works

For a home in a park, Oregon treats the home as titled personal property. The sale transfers the title through Oregon DCBS for a $55 fee, after the county certifies on Form 2952 that taxes are paid. A buyer application under ORS 90.680 must get a park answer within 7 days once complete, or 10 days if the 10-day pre-sale notice was not given. Ninety days of written notice must precede any rent increase, which may happen at most once in 12 months. This rundown is general information, not legal advice.

For a home on its own land, the sale is a real estate sale with a deed, and a title company and lender usually get involved. If you are unsure which kind of sale yours is, check your title paperwork and ask the county before you list.
