How to move a mobile home in Alabama: permits, taxes and setup

In Alabama you need a $10 county move permit, issued only after the home's taxes or registration are paid, plus the hauler's state oversize permit.

  1. County move permit (taxes paid first)

    Before a manufactured home moves on Alabama highways, a moving permit must come from the county official who handles manufactured home registration. The fee is $10 per home, and each section gets a permit good for 14 calendar days. Proof that ad valorem tax or the current registration fee (and any penalties) is paid is required first. A copy goes to the destination county.

  2. Moving without the permit

    Moving a manufactured home without the county permit can bring a traffic citation and a Class C misdemeanor, with a fine of at least $50. The county permit is in addition to any other moving permits required by law.
