Tennessee prices mobile home permits by width, and mobile homes move only in daylight, Monday through Saturday. A home 14 feet wide or less costs $50 for a single-trip permit, and escorts start when the home is wider than 14 feet or longer than 85 feet. 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.
Tennessee mobile home permit fees
Tennessee's Department of Transportation sets fees for mobile and manufactured homes by width. This is a summary from a compliance publisher.
| Width | Single trip |
|---|---|
| 14 feet or less | $50 |
| 14 feet 1 inch to 16 feet | $100 |
| 16 feet 1 inch to 18 feet | $200 |
| Length over 120 feet | $25 added |
No permit is issued for a height over 16 feet, and a route survey is needed over 15 feet 6 inches. Fees and rules change. Confirm them with TDOT before you move.

Tennessee taxes and paperwork
I could not confirm a statewide Tennessee rule that a county must issue a tax release or moving permit for a mobile home. Titles and taxes involve your county trustee, register of deeds and assessor. Before a move, ask your county trustee whether taxes are owed and whether any form is needed.
- Ask your county trustee about unpaid taxes
- Have your title ready
- Ask your county or city whether a placement or building permit applies at the new site

What a mobile home move costs in Tennessee
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 14 feet wide need front and rear escorts.
- Timing. Daylight-only moves and holiday periods limit the dates.
- Permits. The $50 to $200 permit is small next to escorts and driving time.
- Site work. Clearing a lot, tie-down and hookups are priced separately.
