1. My Manufactured Structure is still on a separate tax statement even though I filed papers to make it Exempt from title and therefore considered to be real property?

Merging a Manufactured Structure takes place once the application to exempt has been recorded. Notification of recording comes from either the Title Company or through our office, from the property owner. Taxes only need to be paid on the Manufactured Structure that is being de-titled. When a Manufactured Structure is being re-titled, the taxes on the real property account must be paid.
