Typical costs to move a mobile home can range from $5.00 to $10.00 per mile plus the permit fees and then the setup of the mobile home costs around $500.00 to $1000.00 and some mobile home movers include it in the cost of the move.

It can cost around $2,000.00 to $5,000.00 just for the mobile home to be moved 100 miles and further distances and to move a mobile home across state lines could cost you upwards of $15,000.00

You should really decide if it's worth it to move your current mobile home or just sell your current mobile home and use that money to purchase another one closer to where you plan to move.

Also be aware that some places prohibit the move of any mobile homes over 10 years old and will not provide a permit for the move.

Another thing to consider is if your mobile home can really withstand the move as moving a mobile home can put stress on the framing and other parts of the home and could cause damage to the mobile home.

Although the name implies that the home can be moved. Mobile homes aren't really that mobile but it can be done.

If I bought the mobile home new for a lot of money then yes I would probably pay the $15,000.00 to get it moved if I couldn't make back what I paid for it or even half of what I paid for it.
