Know the rules
Delaware Rules for Moving a Mobile Home
Four Delaware requirements shape every move. Here’s what they are and who handles each one.
Licensed installer
Under the Delaware Manufactured Home Installation Board rules, no one may install a manufactured home without a license, and a licensed installer must oversee all aspects of the installation. Installers must carry a bond and liability insurance. We hold that license.
Inspections and decal
The same rules call for an inspection once the ground is prepared for concrete and another when the installation is complete. The installer then permanently affixes a decal next to the data plate, certifying the work meets the manufacturer’s manual and state law.
DelDOT manufactured housing permit
Under DelDOT’s permit rules, mobile homes, modular units and office trailers move on a Load Code 4 single-trip permit, good for 5 days, sunrise to sunset, any day of the week. Loads 15 feet wide or more are treated as superloads. We get the permit.
Escorts, holidays and weather
Under DelDOT’s safety standards, loads over 13 feet wide need one escort, over 14 feet two, and over 15 feet a state police escort too. Permitted loads can’t travel on major holidays, including the day after Thanksgiving, or in bad weather. We plan around all three.
Delaware paperwork
Who Does What in a Delaware Move
Most of the paperwork in a Delaware move is ours. Here’s the split.
1. Title and taxes
Have your title ready and check with your county about any taxes due before the move.
2. Site and community approval
Check what your county or community needs at the new site. We’ll tell you what to ask.
3. We get the road permits
The DelDOT manufactured housing permit and any escorts.
4. Licensed setup and decal
We install the home, schedule the inspections and affix the installer decal.

Pricing
How Much Does It Cost to Move a Mobile Home in Delaware?
Most of our moves cost between $2,000 and $15,000. For a Delaware move, the price mostly depends on:
- Home size: double- and triple-wides need more trucks and a split and rejoin.
- Distance: across the county costs less than Wilmington to the beaches, or out of state.
- Permits and escorts: DelDOT permits, and escorts for homes over 13 feet wide.
- Site access: tight community streets, summer beach traffic, or sandy lots.
- Setup scope: blocking, leveling, anchoring, utilities and skirting.
