New Mexico will not issue a moving permit until the owner shows a county assessor or treasurer certificate that property taxes are paid. A manufactured home permit is $25, and homes cannot exceed 18 feet wide. 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.
New Mexico permit and tax certificate
New Mexico ties the state permit to a county tax certificate. This comes from state law as summarized by a compliance publisher, based on a 2011 code version, so confirm the current rule.

The New Mexico county tax release
This is the step that decides your date. In San Juan County, for example, you ask the assessor for a tax release, pay overdue and current taxes to the treasurer, and receive a green county moving permit that stays on the home.
- Ask the assessor for the tax release
- Pay taxes in full at the treasurer
- Keep the county permit attached during the move
- Ask the city or county about extra permits at the new site

What a mobile home move costs in New Mexico
