Know the rules
Alabama and Dothan Rules for Moving a Mobile Home
Four requirements shape every move in and around Dothan. Here’s what they are and who handles each one.
County moving permit
Under Alabama Department of Revenue rule 810-4-2-.09, a manufactured home can’t move on Alabama highways without a moving permit from the county office that handles manufactured home registration. It costs $10 per home, is valid 14 days, and is issued only after taxes and the registration fee are paid. Homes entering Alabama are exempt.
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.
Dothan setup permits
Inside the city, the City of Dothan requires Planning and Development to approve the home before the installer gets a setup permit. Electric and plumbing permits and inspections come before utilities are connected. We handle these.
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.
Alabama paperwork
Who Does What in a Dothan Move
In Alabama, the tax step comes first. Here’s the split.
1. Pay the taxes
Pay the property tax and current registration on the home at the county office.
2. Moving permit
The county issues the $10 moving permit once taxes are paid. We can get it as your mover.
3. We get the other permits
ALDOT oversize permits for the route and the Dothan setup permit for the new site.
4. Certified setup
Our AMHC certified installers set the home and place the state decal.
