MOBILE HOME TAX CERTIFICATION

     Before moving or selling a mobile home, the taxes must be paid to date.

     To obtain a clear title, you will need a Mobile Home Certification, availabe at the Jefferson County Treasurer’s Office and then filed with the Illinois Secretary of State’s Office.

     Documentation required for certification includes the original title and names and addresses for both the seller and the buyer.

     There is a $5.00 fee to obtain a Tax Certification through the Treasurer's office.  We accept cash or check only for certifications. 

NOTICE TO MOBILE HOME OWNERS: Since the 2020 tax year, unpaid mobile home taxes and penalties have been sent to the annual tax sale. Starting in 2021, payment of current year mobile home property taxes will not be accepted until all prior years of unpaid taxes have paid, and open liens have been properly released and recorded. Call the Treasurer's office if you wish to see if you have any unpaid Mobile Home taxes.
