In Montana, the county treasurer issues a movement declaration before a mobile home moves. You need a tax receipt from the treasurer of the county where the move starts, and a copy of the declaration goes on the home. 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.

The Montana movement declaration
Montana Code 15-24-206 sets the rule for moving a mobile or manufactured home from one point in Montana to another. Before it moves, you must:
- Get a receipt from the county treasurer where the move starts, showing property taxes are paid
- Deliver the signed declaration to that treasurer
- State the home's destination in the declaration, verified under oath
- Put a copy of the declaration in a conspicuous place on the home
The tax receipt and treasurer requirements do not apply to some moves, including bringing a home into Montana from outside the state. Read the law at Montana Code 15-24-206. This is an older posted version, so confirm it with your county treasurer.

Moving across Big Sky country
Montana is large and weather changes fast. Montana does not allow travel when a route is under severe driving conditions, so we build in extra days.
- Winter closures and high winds are planned around
- Long distances between towns mean longer driving days
- We pick routes that fit the width and weight of the home
- Hookups, skirting and tie-down are priced separately
