The Oregon Steps for Seneca Sellers
A park home is titled personal property in Oregon. The ownership record is held by DCBS. DCBS charges $55 for the transfer. Form 2952 county certification that taxes are paid precedes any DCBS transfer.
The buyer approval step comes from ORS 90.680. The buyer submits a written application to the park. Once complete, an application is decided within 7 days, or 10 days if you skipped the pre-sale notice. Nobody moves in before approval lands.
A rent rise needs 90 days of written notice, and only one rise is allowed per 12 months. Give buyers the current rent and any scheduled change early.
Use this as general information, and get legal advice for specifics. Tiny-town sales still follow the same statutes, so do not skip the written steps.

Yes. MLS syndication reaches 135+ sites including Google, far beyond local notice boards.
Can I sell an RV-park site as a home sale?

What if no park office exists?
Ask the lot owner or manager directly, in writing, for the rent and the buyer process. Keep copies of every answer.
Does a park-home sale involve a deed?
No. A park home moves to a buyer via the DCBS ownership document, not a deed.

Selling in a remote place like Seneca asks for extra care with the listing itself, because most buyers will first meet the home on a screen, miles away. Photograph generously: every room, the outside, the lot, and the approach, in daylight. Write down the lot terms, the rent or site arrangement, and what a buyer needs to do to be approved, so nobody has to guess. When the paperwork is ready before the first inquiry, a distant buyer can move from interest to offer without a second trip just to chase a document.
