(Vanderbilt) to avoid a lien claimed by Vanderbilt against William W. Pierce, Jr.’s manufactured home. Vanderbilt failed to submit its Certificate of Title and title lien statement to the county clerk in Pierce’s county of residence for notation of its security interest on the Certificate of Title.

There, we concluded, that a security interest in a manufactured home is not properly perfected under Kentucky law unless the Certificate of Title has been submitted to the county clerk in the debtor’s county of residence for the security interest to be noted on the Certificate of Title by that Clerk. That did not happen here. On the basis of Westenhoefer, we AFFIRM;
