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

In Virginia a used manufactured home may not leave the locality where it has been used as a residence until the owner gets a tax permit from the treasurer, issued only after all local property taxes assessed or assessable against the home are paid.

  1. Local treasurer tax permit

    No manufactured home that has been in use as a place of residence may be moved from the county, city, or town where it has been in use until the owner has obtained a tax permit from the treasurer. The treasurer shall not issue the permit until the owner has paid the city or county and town all local property taxes assessed or assessable against the manufactured home. The permit expires in 45 days and must be conspicuously displayed on the left center of the rear of the home whenever it is being transported. A dealer or a party with a secured interest may use dealer plates in lieu of the tax permit; a dealer or secured party who removes a home because of repossession or other operation of law must notify the treasurer before the removal. Violation is a Class 3 misdemeanor. A home being moved into a locality for use rather than sale must be reported to the commissioner of the revenue or director of finance within 10 days.
