SB 2764 Texas Senate · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to information provided to a purchaser of a manufactured home regarding the ability to elect to treat the home as real property or personal property.

SB 2764 requires retailers selling manufactured homes to provide buyers with a written disclosure explaining their option to treat the home as either real property (subject to property taxes and real estate rules) or personal property (subject to different tax and regulatory rules). The disclosure must be in 12-point type and cover specific details, including the conditions for making this election, its effects on ownership, and that the election must be applied for when requesting a statement of ownership. This applies to all disclosures given on or after September 1, 2025, directly affecting buyers of manufactured homes during purchase agreements. The bill aims to ensure buyers understand how this classification choice impacts their financial obligations and legal rights.
