An owner of a manufactured home community or mobile home park may remove, or cause to be removed, from the manufactured home community or mobile home park a valueless home and personal property associated with the home at any time following a determination of abandonment by the manufactured home community or mobile home park owner in accordance with section 562B.27, subsection 1, and an order of removal pursuant to chapter 648 without further notice to the owner or occupant of the valueless home. Within ten days of the removal or transfer of title, the manufactured home community or mobile home park owner shall give written notice to the county treasurer for the county in which the manufactured home community or mobile home park is located by affidavit which shall include a description of the valueless home, its owner or occupant, if known, the date of removal or transfer of title, and if applicable, the name and address of any third party to whom a new title shall be issued.

2. A valueless home and any personal property associated with the valueless home shall be conclusively deemed in value to be equal to or less than the reasonable cost of disposal plus all sums owing to the manufactured home community or mobile home park owner pertaining to the valueless home, if the manufactured home community or mobile home park owner or an agent of the owner removes the home and personal property to a demolisher, sanitary landfill, or other lawful disposal site or if the manufactured home community or mobile home park owner allows a disinterested third party to remove the valueless home and personal property or to leave the home in the manufactured home community or mobile home park in a transaction in which the manufactured home community or mobile home park owner receives no consideration.
