Clear, written quotes
What does it cost to move a mobile home in Florida?
It depends on your home and your lot, so every job gets its own written quote, line by line, usually the same day, before any work starts. Here is what changes the price, what a full-service move includes, and how to keep your cost down.
What changes the price
A single-wide is one trip. Double and triple-wides are one trip per section, plus the work to join them again on the new lot.
Local moves cost less. Longer routes, oversize permits, and escort vehicles add to the total.
Access, soft ground, tight turns, and how ready the pad is all change the time and equipment the job needs.
Blocking, leveling, and anchors for the wind zone of the destination. Older homes sometimes need extra piers or new straps.
Each county has its own permit process and fees, and some charge an impact fee when a home is placed on land for the first time.
Skirting, steps, utility hookups, and site work are listed separately so you only pay for what you need.
What a full-service move includes
- Taking the home down and getting it ready to travel

How we quote

What your written quote looks like
Every item listed, so you can compare line by line. This is a sample: your quote has your price on every line.
Usually not included, and quoted only if you need it
- A new septic system or well
- A new electric pole or service
- County impact fees, when the county charges them
- Land clearing or a new driveway
Why we don't publish prices
Two identical homes can cost different amounts depending on the lot, the route, and the county. We would rather give you a real price in writing than a number online that changes later.
No surprises
- The price on your written quote is the price.
- If something changes on site, we tell you in writing first. Nothing extra happens without your signature.
- You pay in stages as the work gets done, not everything up front.
- Your lender can work from our written quote.
How to keep your cost down
- Have the new lot ready before moving day: pad prepped, access clear, utility connections in place.
- Start the permit paperwork early so you are not paying two places while you wait.
- Move in the dry season when you can, October through May.
- Compare line by line. A dealer's bundled setup price is often where buyers overpay.
Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to move a mobile home in Florida?
It depends on the size of the home, the distance, the condition of the new lot, and the county. Every job gets a written quote with each item listed before any work starts, usually the same day.
Is it cheaper to move a single-wide than a double-wide?
Yes. A single-wide is one section and one trip. A double-wide is two sections, two trips, and the work to join them again, so it takes more time, equipment, and materials.
What is included in a full-service move?
Taking the home down, permits, transport, blocking and leveling, anchoring to Florida code, joining the sections on multi-section homes, and scheduling the county inspection. Skirting, steps, and utility hookups are quoted separately.
Do I have to use the dealer's installer?
No. In Florida you can choose your own licensed installer. Comparing quotes line by line often saves buyers a lot of money.
How long does a move take?
The move itself is usually one to two days. Permits take longer and depend on the county, so plan a few weeks from quote to move-in.
Can a home built before 1976 be moved?
Homes built before 1976 can't be set up again in Florida, but we can move them for demolition or storage.
