Mobile home park closure relocation cost calculator
Relocating the homes in a closing park costs about $5,000 to $8,000 per single-section home and $8,000 to $15,000 per multi-section home for a local full-service move (HomeGuide, 2026). Homes that can't move cost about $3,000 to $5,000 (single) or $4,000 to $7,000 (double) to demolish and haul away (Angi). For a 40-home park, half single and half double, the moves alone come to about $260,000 to $460,000. Florida caps relocation payments at $3,000 / $6,000 per home; Washington offers eligible households up to $11,000 / $17,000.

How park closures are usually budgeted
- Moves. Full-service ranges per home from HomeGuide, with towing and an escort car added past 100 miles. Multi-section homes use double-wide figures.
- Removals. Homes too old or damaged to travel are demolished and hauled away (Angi ranges).
- State funds. Florida: when a park changes use, the homeowner can get actual moving costs to a site within 50 miles, up to $3,000 (single-section) or $6,000 (multisection), or $1,375 / $2,750 for leaving the home and signing the title to the park owner. Washington: income-qualified homeowners in a closing park can get up to $11,000 (single-section) or $17,000 (multi-section); park owners can ask for reimbursement of demolition and disposal costs up to $5,500 / $8,500 per eligible home.
Large closures need several crews over months. A shortlist of movers with bigger fleets (5 or more power units on the FMCSA record) is on the park owners page. Rules for each state: permits and tax clearance by state.
