Mobile home movers in Vermont

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

1. Town clerk endorsement and bill of sale

   Before a sale or transfer, the seller must provide a completed, unexecuted manufactured home uniform bill of sale to the town clerk where the home is located for endorsement (and, if the home is sold separately from the land, to the record landowner). A clerk shall not endorse the bill of sale unless all property taxes due and payable on the manufactured home (but not the real property on which it sits, if separately owned) have been paid in full as of the most recent assessment or installment, or, if the home is being removed from the municipality, all property taxes assessed on the home (but not the site) have been paid. The buyer must file the executed, endorsed bill of sale with the clerk of the town where the home will be located within 10 days.

2. Required in the hauler's possession

   Unless excluded (deeded real-estate transfers, court-issued abandonment bills of sale, or dealer/manufacturer inventory stored on a sales lot and not connected to utilities), a manufactured home shall not be moved over the highways of Vermont unless the operator of the vehicle hauling the home has in his or her possession a copy of the manufactured home uniform bill of sale endorsed as required. A violation is also subject to the tax collection and enforcement provisions of 32 V.S.A. § 5079. Moves on Vermont highways also need a DMV single-trip oversize permit.
