Rules for Moving a Mobile Home in Decatur
Four requirements shape every move in and around Morgan 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.
Registration and decal
Per the Alabama Department of Revenue, manufactured home registration is due October 1 and delinquent after November 30, when late fees are added. The decal goes on right away, at eye level on the street side about a foot from the right corner, and stays there.
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.
