Common Questions

Who owns the lot my home sits on?

The park does. In a Vernonia park, you own the home. Your buyer will rent the lot under the park's terms. That is the core fact of every park-home sale.

What does the county need from me?

The county must certify that taxes on the home are paid, on Form 2952. DCBS needs that certification before it transfers the title. Start this step before you promise a closing date.

How fast must the park answer a buyer?

ORS 90.680 gives the park 7 days to accept or reject a complete buyer application. If the 10-day pre-sale notice was skipped, the window is 10 days. These notes are general information for Vernonia sellers, not legal advice.

Can buyers get financing?

Sometimes. In Vernonia, it depends on the home, the park, and the lender. See Oregon financing for the basics, or ask us through contact and the FAQ page. You can also call 971-GO-ON-MLS.

The Sale Steps, Plainly Stated

Park-home sales in Oregon are title transfers, not deed transfers. Oregon DCBS handles the title. The Vernonia transfer fee through DCBS is $55.

Before that transfer, the county certifies paid taxes on Form 2952. No certification, no transfer. Simple as that.

The buyer applies to the park under ORS 90.680. The park decides within 7 days on a complete application, or 10 days when the pre-sale notice was not given.

Rent increases in Vernonia parks need 90 days of written notice. They may happen at most once in a 12-month period. Keep these rules in mind when you talk price with a buyer.
