Rules for Moving a Mobile Home in Tuscaloosa
Four requirements shape every move in and around Tuscaloosa County. Here’s what they are and who handles each one.
County move permit
Under Alabama Department of Revenue rule 810-4-2-.09, the county office that handles manufactured home registration issues the move permit. It’s $10 per home, each module’s permit is valid for 14 days, and you’ll need proof that property taxes and registration are paid. A copy goes to the county where the home is headed. Moving without one is a Class C misdemeanor with a fine of at least $50.
Tuscaloosa County registration
The Tuscaloosa County License Department requires a manufactured home to be registered within 30 days of a sale or a finished setup, with a new decal bought every year. Registrations run out September 30 and renew October 1 to November 30. Late registration adds a $10 penalty and a $15 citation fee.
Certified installer and decal
The Alabama Manufactured Housing Commission requires every manufactured home in Alabama to be installed by an AMHC certified installer. The installer puts a state decal on the home before installation begins. Our installers are certified.
Escorts for wide homes
Under Ala. Admin. Code 450-3-1-.05, loads 12 to 14 feet wide need one escort, in front on two-lane roads and behind on multi-lane roads. Loads wider than 14 feet need escorts in front and behind on every road.
