Said certificate shall be affixed to the mobile home during all times the mobile home is being mobilized over the public streets, highways, county roads and public roads within Valencia County. Attachment of a bona fide certificate similar to the certificate described in § 155.05 that is issued by the Treasurer of another county within the State of New Mexico, and which is attached as described herein, shall constitute compliance with the requirements of this section.
(B) Exception. The movement of a mobile home from the lot or business location of a mobile home dealer to its destination designated by an owner- purchaser is not subject to the requirements of division (A) above, if the movement originated from the lot or business location of the dealer and the mobile home was part of his inventory prior to the sale to the owner-purchaser. The movement of a mobile home by a dealer or his authorized agent as a result of a purchase or trade-in from a non-dealer owner is subject to the requirements of this chapter regardless of the destination.
