9 (a) If an owner transfers his interest in a vehicle,
10 other than by the creation of a security interest, at the
11 time of the delivery of the vehicle he shall execute to the
12 transferee an assignment and warranty of title in the space
13 provided on the certificate of title, or as the Secretary of
14 State prescribes, and cause the certificate and assignment to

20 transferee a certification by the treasurer of the county in

22 vehicle for the years the owner was the actual titleholder of
23 the vehicle have been paid. The transferee shall be liable
24 only for the taxes he or she incurred while he or she was the
25 actual titleholder of the mobile home. The county treasurer
26 shall refund any amount of taxes paid by the transferee that
27 were imposed in years when the transferee was not the actual

1 preceding the year in which the refund is made. If the owner
2 is a licensed dealer who has purchased the vehicle and is
3 holding it for resale, in lieu of acquiring a certification
4 from the county treasurer he shall forward the certification
5 received from the previous owner to the next buyer of the
6 vehicle. The owner shall cause the certification to be
7 mailed or delivered to the Secretary of State with the
8 certificate of title and assignment. Upon approval of the
9 county board, the treasurer of the county in which the
10 vehicle is situated shall charge a $5 fee for the

12 collected under this paragraph shall be deposited into the
13 Tax Sale Automation Fund created in Section 21-245 of the

15 (b) Except as provided in Section 3-113, the transferee
16 shall, promptly and within 20 days after delivery to him of
17 the vehicle and the assigned title, execute the application
18 for a new certificate of title in the space provided therefor
19 on the certificate or as the Secretary of State prescribes,
20 and cause the certificate and application to be mailed or
21 delivered to the Secretary of State.
22 (c) Upon request of the owner or transferee, a
23 lienholder in possession of the certificate of title shall,
24 unless the transfer was a breach of his security agreement,
25 either deliver the certificate to the transferee for delivery
26 to the Secretary of State or, upon receipt from the
27 transferee of the owner's assignment, the transferee's
28 application for a new certificate and the required fee, mail
29 or deliver them to the Secretary of State. The delivery of
30 the certificate does not affect the rights of the lienholder
31 under his security agreement.
32 (d) If a security interest is reserved or created at the
33 time of the transfer, the certificate of title shall be
34 retained by or delivered to the person who becomes the

12 application for a transfer of an interest in a vehicle if any
13 fees or taxes due under this Act from the transferor or the
14 transferee have not been paid upon reasonable notice and
15 demand.
16 (g) If the Secretary of State receives an application
17 for transfer of a vehicle subject to a tax under the Mobil
18 Home Local Services Tax Act in a county with a population of
19 less than 3,000,000, such application must be accompanied by
20 the required certification by the county treasurer or tax
21 assessor authorizing the issuance of the title.
