Can you move a manufactured home? Yes, you can, but it’s highly uncommon to do so. The transportation of a home can cause substantial stress on its contents and structure.

Nonetheless, if you do want to relocate your home, be sure to check with the appropriate state authorities regarding transportation and zoning regulations.

States maintain restrictions on weight, size, and width that could potentially prevent you from moving your home. If you do relocate, be sure to use a professional house mover.

Also, it’s important to know the data plate zone maps in your home. These tell you the thermal, wind, and snow zones for which your home was constructed. Use them to determine if your chosen location is appropriate for your home.

Cost is another obvious consideration. Aside from transport expenses, which include licensing fees for intra-state travel, you’ll have to pay for a new foundation, utility hookups, and installation.
