Dealer inventory manufactured/mobile homes are:

  1. Subject to annual registration by HCD

  2. Subject to local property tax if held more than 120 days

  3. Not subject to registration until sold

  4. Subject to registration if displayed as a model

The correct answer is: Not subject to registration until sold

Dealer inventory manufactured/mobile homes are not subject to registration until sold because they are classified differently than homes that have been purchased and titled to a homeowner. Since these homes are still in the possession of the dealer and are not yet owned by a consumer, they are treated as inventory rather than as independently registered units. Once they are sold, the new owners are responsible for registration. In this context, while other options may touch on certain regulations applicable to manufactured homes, they do not relate specifically to the situation of dealer inventory before it is sold. For instance, while model homes might require registration due to their display status or certain conditions around local property tax could apply, these would not pertain to inventory held by a dealer awaiting sale. Therefore, the status of being subject to registration only upon sale is the defining factor for dealer inventory manufactured/mobile homes.
