Manufactured Home Move Permits
A Moving Permit is required before a manufactured home is transported on Alabama highways and must be obtained from the county official who administers registrations.
Prerequisite: Before a permit can be issued, all applicable ad valorem taxes, registration fees, issuance fees, and penalties must be paid in full.
Permit Fee & Duration
- The fee is $10 per manufactured home, regardless of the number of modules.
- A Moving Permit is valid for 14 calendar days.
- A separate permit is issued for each transportable module.
When Not Required
Exemptions apply to:
- Dealers transporting/delivering inventory.
- Homes owned by dealers, manufacturers, or lien holders.
- Homes being transported into or through Alabama.
Transporters should carry proof of ownership or authorization (tag, decal, bill of sale, or title).
Moving a Home Without a Permit
Moving a manufactured home without the required permit may result in a traffic citation and a Class C misdemeanor. Upon conviction, a fine of at least $50 may apply, issued by an Alabama law enforcement officer.
