Relocation Information

Understanding Your Relocation Options in Florida

Relocation is relocating the home to a new location within a 50-mile radius.

Upon approval, a homeowner is entitled to actual moving expenses of relocating the mobile home up to $3,000 for a single-section home and up to $6,000 for a multi-section home.

Moving a mobile home in Florida requires licensed transporters, specialized transportation/moving permits from local and state authorities, and structural inspections. Mobile homes built prior to June 15, 1976 are prohibited from transport, while homes over 20 years old
need special, strict permits.

See the checklist of forms required to submit your relocation claim.

Important Application Steps to Remember

It is important to note that incomplete applications will be administratively denied and returned to the applicant. Additional information may be requested in order to complete your application.

Below are some items to watch for while completing the relocation paperwork:

  • Make sure to fill out the application completely, particularly the two questions at the bottom (please answer yes or no) and sign it. Do not leave anything blank.
  • Make sure that your name is on your eviction notice. If your name is not on the eviction notice, please attach an explanation for the Board as to why the name on the notice is different than the applicant name or why the name of the applicant does not appear on the eviction notice.
  • The titles must be in the applicant’s name and copies of the titles should be sent in with your application.
  • Form 1007: Installer’s Form must be completely filled out and signed by the home owner and the installer. Section 12 must have an itemization of the total moving cost. The Board must be able to determine how much of the total cost is attributed to setup, breakdown and transport. This information should be provided by your mover/installer. Your application will be returned if you do not complete this section accurately.
  • Attach a copy of the contract/proposal from your mover. Also include any proof of payment to the installer for the relocation.
  • Form 1008 should be completed and signed. Make sure that you list the name of the park owner where indicated.
