Moving a mobile home in Texas involves two agencies: the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles (TxDMV) for oversize-load permits and escort rules, and the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs (TDHCA) for the moving permit, title and installation paperwork. 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.
TxDMV oversize permits and escorts in Texas
TxDMV issues oversize-load permits, and applications are made online through its TxPROS system. For manufactured housing, TxDMV sets the escort rules by width.
| Load width | Escorts TxDMV requires |
|---|---|
| Over 16 feet | One escort: in front on two-lane roads, behind on roads with four or more lanes |
| Over 18 feet | Two escorts |
TxDMV can also require law enforcement escorts, and the permit sets travel times and routes. Rules change, so confirm them with TxDMV before you move.
What we handle
- The TxDMV permit application
- Route planning around low bridges and tight turns
- Escort vehicles where the width requires them
- Moving within the permit dates and times
Texas housing department paperwork for a move
Texas manufactured homes are regulated by TDHCA as well as by TxDMV. TDHCA says a moving permit is required to transport a home on any city or county road. A home must also be installed by a bonded, licensed installer.
After the move there are two deadlines. The installer files a Notice of Installation within 7 working days of the installation, and the owner applies for a new Statement of Ownership (the title) within 60 days of relocating, with a copy of the moving permit.
Have these ready
- Current title or Statement of Ownership
- Proof that property taxes are paid
- Make, model and serial number of the home
- Current and new addresses
- Your preferred moving dates

How much does it cost to move a mobile home in Texas?
A single-wide typically costs $3,500 to $6,500 to move in Texas, 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 wider than 16 feet need escorts.
- Distance. Texas is big, and longer routes mean more driving time and fuel.
- Permits. Permit fees are small next to the move, but escorts add cost.
- Site work. Clearing a lot, blocking, hookups and skirting are priced separately.
