Vehicle Code

This act governs the ownership and titling of motor vehicles, requiring that vehicles be documented by a certificate of title issued after application to and review by the state's titling authority, and setting out which vehicles are exempt from that requirement. It prescribes how title is applied for, issued, corrected, duplicated, suspended, or cancelled, and how ownership passes on sale, through a dealer or manufacturer, or by operation of law — including specific handling for vehicles used as dwellings, such as mobile homes. It also serves as the exclusive means of perfecting a security interest in a titled vehicle, covering how liens are noted, assigned, satisfied, and how long perfection lasts, along with provision for electronic administration of vehicle title records.
