General Information

The division has designed a manufactured housing computer system, nicknamed LOIS, to track a home as it moves from manufacturer to dealer to the owner (and any resale).The system will be deployed through a web-based application, thus eliminating most of the paperwork and delay from transactions for everyone involved.

LOIS system:

• Maintains siting and ownership information for manufactured structures sited in Oregon
• For siting and ownership information on exempt homes, please contact the county deed records.
• Generate official documents including the Ownership Document and Trip Permit
• Provide real-time access to data for update and output
• Limit access to authorized users and customize functionality based upon the specific user group
• Allow sophisticated data reporting tools

If you would like to become a system user please submit a Manufactured Structure System User Application to Amanda Hauth.

Benefits

• Record ownership information quickly, with less paperwork
• Access the system day or night; anywhere there is an Internet connection
• Search for ownership and security interest information

• Purchase and print trip permits online
