Court Ordered Title
You must live in Cuyahoga County to obtain Court Ordered Title from Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court. Please reference the laws regarding Court Ordered Titles:
When you have been informed by the Cuyahoga County Auto Title Division that the evidence submitted for your motor vehicle/watercraft is not sufficient to meet the requirements of title issuance by the Cuyahoga County Auto Title Division, you will be requested to obtain a court order from Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court – Civil Division.
All manufactured homes as well as mobile homes are assessed a $5.00 archive fee in addition to any title fees.
In order to transfer title to a manufactured home, it is mandatory that the Auditor and the Treasurer in the county where it is located verify that all property taxes have been paid. The Auditor and the Treasurer will stamp the title endorsing that taxes and the transfer and conveyance fees have been paid. These stamps must be obtained at the County Administration building.
