Missouri's rules for moving a mobile home turn on width, escorts and time of day. MoDOT issues the oversize permit, escorts are set by width and road type, and moves are limited to daylight with extra limits in big cities and holiday periods. A single-wide typically costs $3,500 to $6,500 to move and a double-wide $7,500 to $13,500, for a move of about an hour.
MoDOT escort and width rules
The Missouri Department of Transportation sets escorts by width and road type. This is a summary from a compliance publisher.
| Width | Escorts |
|---|---|
| 12 feet 6 inches to 14 feet | Interstate or divided: one rear escort. Two-lane designated routes: one front escort. Other two-lane roads: one front and one rear |
| Over 14 feet | Interstate and divided highways: one rear escort. Undivided and two-lane: one front and one rear |
| 16 feet | Dual-lane: one front and two rear civilian escorts, or fewer with the Highway Patrol. Two-lane: Highway Patrol escorts |
| 18 feet | Highway Patrol escorts on interstates and dual-lane highways |
Fees and rules change. Confirm them with MoDOT before you move.

Missouri county taxes and paperwork
I could not confirm a statewide Missouri rule that a county must issue a moving permit or tax release for a mobile home. Titles and personal property taxes are handled through the Department of Revenue and your county. Before a move, ask your county collector whether taxes are owed and whether your county needs a form. We will tell you what we find for your county when we quote.
- Check your county collector for unpaid taxes
- Have your title ready
- Ask your county or city whether a placement or building permit is needed at the new site

What a mobile home move costs in Missouri
A single-wide typically costs $3,500 to $6,500 to move, and a double-wide $7,500 to $13,500, for a move of about an hour. Most single-wides move within 24 hours, and double-wides within 24 to 48 hours.
- Size. Homes over 12 feet 6 inches wide need escorts.
- Location. Moves through St. Louis or Kansas City must avoid rush hours.
- Permits. Permit fees are small next to escorts and driving time.
- Site work. Clearing a lot, tie-down and hookups are priced separately.
