Honest pricing
How much does it cost to move a mobile home in Florida?
Most full-service moves in Florida run between $5,000 and $15,000. The exact price depends on three things: how big your home is, how far it goes, and what we have to do at the new lot. Below is the same matrix we use internally to give same-day quotes.
Transport-only price ranges
Truck and trailer to take the home from point A to point B. Setup, tie-downs, and permits are separate (see below).
| Distance | Single-wide | Double-wide | Triple-wide |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 to 25 miles | $950 to $1,093 | $1,900 to $2,185 | $3,600 to $4,140 |
| 25 to 75 miles | $950 to $1,366 | $1,900 to $2,731 | $3,600 to $5,175 |
| 75 to 150 miles | $1,188 to $2,185 | $2,375 to $4,370 | $4,500 to $8,280 |
| 150 to 300 miles | $1,900 to $3,824 | $3,800 to $7,647 | $7,200 to $14,490 |
Common add-ons
Most jobs include at least setup and tie-downs. Permits are required by FL law.
What a real full-service job looks like
Here is an example: a typical double-wide moved 50 miles within Hillsborough County, with full setup, tie-downs, and permits.
Your job will not match this exactly. Routes change, lots vary, and some jobs include releveling, piers, or hurricane retrofit work. We give you a firm quote with line items the same day.
What can change the price
- Distance over 300 miles or out-of-state moves require a custom quote.
- Triple-wides and modular homes carry premium transport pricing due to escort and route requirements.
- Difficult access (narrow roads, septic clearance, soft ground) may add equipment costs.
- Pre-1976 HUD homes cannot be re-set in Florida by law. We can transport them for demolition or storage.
- Hurricane-retrofit jobs scheduled within 14 days of a named storm may be subject to surge scheduling.
Frequently asked questions
- How much does it cost to move a mobile home in Florida?
- Most full-service moves run $5,000 to $15,000. Single-wide transport alone starts around $1,500 to $3,500 for local jobs. Double-wide setup with permits typically lands at $9,000 to $14,000. The number above includes transport plus setup plus tie-downs plus permits, what most people actually need.
- How much does it cost to move a single-wide vs a double-wide?
- Single-wide is one section, so transport is one trip and setup is faster. Local single-wide full-service: $5,000 to $9,000. Double-wide is two sections, two trips, marriage-line install, more anchors. Local double-wide full-service: $8,000 to $14,000. Triple-wide adds a third section: $11,500 to $17,000.
- Do I have to use the mobile home dealer's installer?
- No. Florida Statute 320.8249 gives the homeowner the right to choose any licensed mobile home installer. Dealers often quote $25,000 to $35,000 for setup alone, that is 2 to 3 times market rate. You can sign for the home with the dealer and contract the installation separately.
- What is included in a full-service mobile home move?
- Transport from origin to destination, set on the new pad, leveling, blocking and piers, tie-downs to FL Rule 15C-1 anchoring spec, marriage-line install for multi-section homes, electrical hookup coordination, and county building permit submittal. Skirting, septic, well, and HVAC are typically separate line items.
- How much do mobile home permits cost in Florida?
- DHSMV trip permit plus county building permit usually runs $250 to $900 combined. Impact fees on a NEW mobile home setup in counties like Polk or Hillsborough can add $14,000 to $16,000, that is a one-time fee paid to the county, not the installer.
- How long does the whole process take?
- Quote and contract: same day. Permit submittal and review: 10 to 21 days depending on county (Polk and Pasco around 10 to 14 days, Pinellas and coastal counties closer to 21). Actual move and setup day once permitted: 1 to 3 days for most homes.
- What changes the price the most?
- Three factors in order: home size (single vs double vs triple), distance (local under 50 miles is cheapest), and site complexity (narrow driveways, soft ground, hurricane retrofit, or out-of-county permits add cost). Pre-1976 HUD homes cannot be re-set in Florida by law.
