(d) If a mobile home is held by two (2) or more persons, any person identified as an owner on the certificate of title shall have the right to transfer all interest in the mobile home without the signature of any other owner on the title unless:

(i) The title states the mobile home is held in joint tenancy with right of survivorship or tenancy by the entirety;  (ii) The title states the mobile home is held by co- owners in the conjunctive, by the use of the word "and" or other similar language, in which event transfer shall require the signature of each co-owner;

(iii) A transfer of all interests in the mobile home by an owner without the signature of any other owner is otherwise prohibited by law.

If a copy of the certificate of title is presented, the county treasurer shall verify that the copy is a true and accurate copy of the current title issued for the mobile home. In the event the ad valorem levy has not been set for the current year, the current year's tax shall be computed upon the levy for the previous year. Upon full payment of the current year's taxes due, the county treasurer shall issue a receipt describing the transportable home, indicating that a copy of the certificate of title was verified if applicable and indicating the current year's taxes are paid. Upon presentation of the receipt to the director of the department of transportation, or his authorized representative, the owner may be issued an over-width permit.
