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

In Ohio, before a taxable manufactured or mobile home is moved on public roads, the owner must get a $5 relocation notice from the county auditor, issued only after the required manufactured-home taxes are paid, and attach the yellow notice to the rear of the home.

  1. County auditor relocation notice

    Except as otherwise provided, before moving a manufactured or mobile home on public roads from one address in Ohio to another address in or outside Ohio, the owner must obtain a relocation notice from the auditor of the county where the home is located if the home is currently subject to manufactured-home tax. The auditor charges $5 and may not issue the notice unless all taxes owed that were first charged during the period of ownership of the owner seeking the notice have been paid. If the home is being moved by a new owner or a party taking repossession, the auditor may not issue the notice unless all taxes due for the preceding five years and for the current year have been paid. The notice is valid until the last day of December of the year it was issued. It is a one-foot-square yellow sign reading "manufactured home relocation notice," and must be attached to the rear of the home when it is moved on a public road. A sheriff, park operator, or similar official moving a home under a court-ordered removal may receive a notice without tax payment. Moving without the notice can bring a $100 penalty on the owner and the person who moved the home; driving without the notice attached is a minor misdemeanor. Homes not yet subject to the tax get a relocation notice from the dealer.

  3. Registration and title endorsements

    When a home subject to manufactured-home tax is relocated, the owner must register it with the county auditor of the new county of situs within 30 days. On a transfer of ownership, the clerk of courts will not issue a certificate of title without a county treasurer endorsement that the home has been registered for each year of ownership and that manufactured-home taxes have been paid or that no tax is due, plus an auditor endorsement that the manufactured-home transfer tax and related fees have been paid.
