Names do not match
Marriage, divorce, death, trusts, business ownership, and recording errors can create differences between the person selling and the HCD record. Resolve authority before accepting a closing deadline.
A title or registration card is missing
HCD provides applications for duplicate title and registration documents. Processing takes time, so start early and use the current official forms.
A lien is still recorded
A paid loan may still appear if the release was never completed. Obtain the correct lien-release documentation and confirm how HCD requires it to be submitted.
Taxes or registration are unresolved
Local property tax homes may need a county tax clearance certificate, while annual-registration homes can have renewal fees or penalties. The correct transfer packet depends on the home's status.
