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

In Florida only an FLHSMV-licensed installer can set up the home, and the county or city setup permit is issued to that licensed installer.

    Installers licensed by the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV) are authorized to install mobile homes in Florida. Set-up permits come from the local county building department.

  2. Setup permit and inspection

    Each county or city inspects every mobile home installation in its area. It issues the installation permit only to a licensed installer, or to a dealer or owner who shows a licensed installer will do the work.
