There is almost always a sales tax. It differs from state to state and in Canadian provinces. For more information consult your local DMV or Tax office.
In some states you do have to pay the sales tax on the purchase of a used mobile home.
If you buy a used mobile home from the owner, the lender financing the home with a mortgage or personal property loan normally sees that the sales taxes are paid. However, if you are paying cash for the mobile home instead of financing the purchase, you are responsible for paying sales tax when ownership of the mobile home is transferred to your name. Usually, sales tax is assessed and collected when you register the home with the motor vehicle agency inyour state.
In Canada there is -elsewhere I'm not sure.
In Louisiana, under Act 500 of the Louisiana 2009 Regular Legislative Session, mobile home owners who reside in the home will pay tax on 46 % of the retail price. If the owner does NOT reside in the home ,they will pay tax based on the total cost of the home. This sales tax does not apply to any subsequent sale of the home.
You would have to call a State Revenue office to get that clear. -In my experience ( Canada) you always pay sales tax.
The current total local sales tax rate in Mobile, AL is 10.0%
In Canada you certainly do. I would bet you do in most states of the USA.

There is no sales tax on real estate purchases.

Unless you pay the mobile home in one shot, you may be assessed sales and other miscellaneous taxes. Most times, however, the only taxes that are assesses are lot or property fees.
