In Nebraska, a mobile home must have a title before it is moved, and a home that was attached to land needs an Affidavit of Detachment first. The Nebraska Department of Transportation then issues the oversize permit. 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.

- Certificate of title for the home

Titles, affixed homes and detachment in Nebraska
Nebraska treats a mobile home as personal property with a title until it is permanently attached to land. The Nebraska DMV explains the rules:
- A home is affixed when its wheels, hitches and running gear are removed and it is attached to a foundation
- To cancel the title, the owner surrenders it to the county treasurer with an Affidavit of Affixture
- To move an affixed home, the owner must first record an Affidavit of Detachment with the Register of Deeds
- The county motor vehicle office needs a copy of the recorded affidavit before it issues a new title
Recording fees are $10 for the first page and $6 for each additional page. See the Nebraska DMV page. I could not confirm a separate county moving permit or tax step for Nebraska, so check with your county treasurer and assessor.

Moving along the Platte and across the plains
Most of Nebraska's population lives along the Interstate 80 corridor, with long two-lane roads north and west. We pick routes that suit the width of the home and the road type, because the escort position depends on whether the road is divided.
- Interstate 80 is the main east-west route
- Divided and undivided roads use different escort positions
- Wind and winter weather are planned around
- Hookups, skirting and tie-down are priced separately
