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

In Texas the mover gets a TxDMV permit for a home over legal size, and the owner records the new location with TDHCA on a new Statement of Ownership.

  1. Moving permit (TxDMV)

    TxDMV issues a single-trip, routed manufactured housing permit for homes over Texas legal size limits. It is good for one move, for the times on the permit (no more than five days). A double-wide or triple-wide moving on its own axles needs a separate permit for each section.

  2. New Statement of Ownership (TDHCA)

    After the move, the owner applies to TDHCA for a new Statement of Ownership showing the new location, with a copy of the mover's TxDMV permit. Any lienholder must be paid off or consent in writing to the move. The issuance fee is $55.

  3. Taxes

    If a home was moved in the past without a permit, TDHCA accepts a Tax Certificate from the county where it used to be installed showing no taxes due. If a used home was sold in the last 18 months, TDHCA needs a tax statement or paid-in-full receipt from the tax assessor-collector.
