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

In Arkansas a manufactured home wider than 8 feet or longer than 60 feet needs an ARDOT special permit for each continuous move, with a statewide width cap of 18 feet; cities and counties may not add their own moving permits once ARDOT has issued one.

  1. ARDOT special permit

    Manufactured home units 8 feet or less in width and 60 feet or less in length may be moved without the special permit. Other manufactured home units may be moved by procuring a special permit issued by the Arkansas Department of Transportation. A permit is required for each single continuous movement of each unit. Units more than 16 feet 6 inches wide may be moved only with an emergency permit; no special permit is issued for a unit exceeding 18 feet in width. ARDOT permit rules also apply on city streets and county roads, and no municipality or county may require local permits, bonds, fees, or licenses for a move already permitted by the department.

  2. Permit fees and who may get one

    The fee is $17 for a manufactured home more than 8 feet and not more than 16 feet 6 inches wide, and $150 above 16 feet 6 inches. A special permit is issued to a licensed carrier, dealer, or manufacturer who files acceptable insurance. A person moving their own personal manufactured home, not over 12 feet wide (exclusive of clearance lights), registered to them and not for sale, using a truck of at least one-ton factory-rated capacity and meeting stated safety rules, is entitled to a special permit upon showing acceptable insurance and title.

  3. Title and registration

    An owner registers a manufactured or mobile home with the Office of Motor Vehicle to receive a certificate of title. The registration fee is $26 and the title fee is $10, with exceptions for cancelled titles and certain dealer or lender inventory.
