Mobile / Manufactured Home Closings in Connecticut: A Legal Guide for Mobile Home Park Owners
Mobile manufactured homes occupy a unique legal position in Connecticut. They are treated as both real property and personal property, depending on the context of the transaction.

As a result, closings involving mobile homes raise distinct title, tax, and procedural issues that every park owner should understand.
