Selling a mobile home
with land in Brevard & Orange County.

By Kyle Thompson, Comfy Home Offers · Updated 2026-11-03 · General information, not legal, tax or title advice.

Yes, you can sell a mobile or manufactured home and the land under it together, as-is, for cash. Comfy Home Offers buys mobile homes on the seller’s own land across Brevard and Orange County, usually with a written offer within 24 hours and a typical close in 30 days or less. We normally cover all standard title-related closing costs. We do not buy homes in parks or on rented lots.

Selling a mobile home on its own lot is a little different from selling a site-built house. Florida can treat the home as a vehicle with its own title, as real property tied to the land, or something in between, and that paperwork decides how the sale closes. This guide walks through what to check before you call anyone, and how a direct sale with us works.

First, find out how Florida sees your home

Florida handles a mobile home permanently affixed to land the owner also owns as real property. The county property appraiser assesses the home together with the land, and the tax collector issues a one-time “RP” (real property) decal instead of the yearly “MH” mobile home decal. Brevard’s tax collector notes that MH decals expire every December 31, and that a double-wide needs a separate registration for each section. Owners who also own the land can declare the home as real property instead of renewing every year.

Quick ways to check your status:

• Look at the window decal. Florida puts it in the lower left corner of the window closest to the road. An RP decal means the home is on the real property roll. An MH decal means it has been registered yearly like a vehicle.
• Pull up the parcel. Search your address on the Brevard County Property Appraiser or Orange County Property Appraiser site. If the home is assessed with the land, it usually shows as a building on the parcel.
• Find the title. If you have a paper certificate of title for the home, or one or more for a double-wide, keep it with your deed. If you do not, the title may have been retired (see below) or you may need a duplicate.

Retired title or active title: why it matters at closing

Under section 319.261 of the Florida Statutes, an owner who also owns the land can permanently retire the mobile home’s title. The original title, the land’s legal description and a sworn statement are recorded with the county clerk, and the state then retires the title. There is no state fee to retire it, but an RP decal has to be issued first.

• Title retired: The home transfers by deed together with the land, just like a house. There is no separate title to sign over.
• Title still active: The sale usually has two pieces: a deed for the land and the signed certificate of title for the home. Each section of a double-wide may have its own title. Make sure the name on each title matches the deed, and that any old lien shown on the title has been released.

Neither situation stops a sale. It just changes what the title company asks for, so share what you have early. If a lender’s name still appears on the title from a loan you paid off years ago, a lien release from that lender usually clears it.

Things buyers will ask about on a Central Florida lot

Outside city limits, in places like Mims, Scottsmoor and Grant-Valkaria in Brevard or Bithlo, Christmas and Wedgefield in Orange County, many lots run on a private well and septic system rather than city water and sewer. Gather what you know before you talk to any buyer:

• Year, make and size of the home. These are on the title or the property appraiser record. Homes built after June 15, 1976 were built under the federal HUD code, and buyers and insurers often ask about that date.
• Tie-downs and roof. Note any storm damage, roof-overs, leaks or soft floors. Hurricane history matters on the Space Coast.
• Well and septic. Note the approximate age, any pump-outs or repairs, and any problems you know about.
• Additions, porches and sheds. Note whether they were permitted. Open permits with the county can slow a closing.
• Taxes and decals. Note whether property taxes are current, and whether an unpaid MH decal or tangible property tax bill is outstanding.

You do not need to fix any of it to sell to us. You do need to be honest about what you already know.

How selling your mobile home and land to us works

1. Tell us about the property. Share the address, the home’s year and size, and whether you have the title. Do it online, or call or text (407) 413-8331.
2. Walkthrough and written offer. Kyle looks at the home and land in person or by video, reviews the property appraiser record, and usually sends a written offer within 24 hours.
3. Title work and closing. If you accept, a Florida title company checks the deed, any mobile home title and any liens, then closes. Typical closings are 30 days or less, and you choose the date subject to title work.

There is no obligation to accept. If you would rather list with an agent, compare your net proceeds after commission, repairs and holding costs. Our cash buyer vs. listing agent guide shows how.

Inherited the home and land?

Many mobile homes on family land come to sellers through an estate. The person with legal authority to sell, often a personal representative appointed in probate, usually needs to sign both the deed and any active title. Start with our inherited property and probate guide, and talk with a Florida probate attorney about your situation.
