Section 32-20-47 Electronic Transmissions.

Notwithstanding any requirement in this chapter that a lien on a manufactured home shall be noted on the face of the certificate of title, if there are one or more liens or encumbrances on the manufactured home, the department may electronically transmit the lien to the first lienholder and notify the first lienholder of any additional liens. Subsequent lien satisfactions may be electronically transmitted to the department and shall include the name and address of the person satisfying the lien. If liens and lien releases are processed electronically and the last lien is satisfied, a title will be issued to the owner of the manufactured home in a manner as prescribed by the department. A duly certified copy of the department’s electronic record of the lien shall be admissible in any civil, criminal, or administrative proceeding in this state as evidence of the existence of the lien.
