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

In Illinois, before a mobile home subject to the Mobile Home Local Services Tax may be moved more than one mile, the transporting company must have a county treasurer permit certifying that current and past due taxes are paid.

  1. County treasurer moving permit

    Before any mobile home subject to the tax imposed by the Mobile Home Local Services Tax Act may be moved, the transporting company must obtain a permit from the county treasurer certifying that the tax on the home has been paid for the current tax period and all previous tax periods for which taxes remain due. It is a Class B misdemeanor for any person or entity, or for the taxpayer, to move a home or cause it to be moved more than one mile without that permit. The section does not apply to a move under a court order, a move under the Abandoned Mobile Home Act, or a park owner moving an abandoned home for disposal as scrap. The Act applies to homes in mobile home parks (and does not apply in counties of more than 2,000,000 inhabitants).
