Malin Sellers: Read This Before You List

Malin is a small farming city in Klamath County near the California line, and the 2020 Census counted 731 residents. Its history runs through Czech immigrant families, and its park district dates to 1944. Manufactured homes here usually sit on private ground or small lots, not inside a large named park.

Honesty first: our site directory lists no mobile home park in Malin, and web searches found no mobile home park in the city. The searches did find an RV park inside the community park, described below. This page does not pretend otherwise. If your home is on private land, the sale is a real estate sale, and the park-home steps below apply only to the title portion if your home carries a title.

The Oregon Steps That Apply

When a manufactured home sits in a park, Oregon treats it as titled personal property. The sale moves the title through Oregon DCBS for a $55 fee, after the county certifies on Form 2952 that taxes are paid. Buyers apply to the park under ORS 90.680, and the park must accept or reject a complete filing within 7 days, or 10 days when the 10-day pre-sale notice was skipped. Rent increases are limited to once in 12 months and need 90 days of written notice first. What you just read is general information, not legal advice.

When a home sits on land you own, the sale uses a deed instead, and a title company usually handles closing. Confirm which kind of sale yours is before you write the listing. Guessing wrong wastes weeks.

The RV Park in Malin

Malin Community Park includes an RV park, within a 60-acre community park that also has a walking path, playground, baseball fields, and picnic areas. Travel Southern Oregon lists full-hookup sites with water, sewer, and electricity at the park. This is an RV park, not a mobile home park, and it is not a place where manufactured homes are sold as park homes. It is mentioned here so Malin sellers see the full picture, not a gap.

Nearby parks in Klamath Falls and Merrill serve buyers who want a park setting. Merrill Mobile Manor and RV Park at 425 West Front Street in Merrill is the closest named park community found in searches.

Malin Seller Questions

Can I list a home on private land? Yes, with the correct description. Tell us whether the land is included, because that changes the listing and the paperwork.

What if my home has a title, not a deed? Then the DCBS transfer and Form 2952 tax certification steps apply. Bring the title paperwork to the first conversation about listing.

Who buys in Malin? Often local farm families, workers, and buyers seeking a low-cost rural home. Honest photos and a fair price carry the sale.
