Additional Mobile Home Moving Permit Information
To obtain a moving permit, the mobile home must have been located in Wake County on January 1 of the current year.
In addition to supplying the above information, it is also required that all property taxes due on the mobile home be paid in full. These taxes also include those which have not yet been computed but which will become due during the current calendar year. If the owner of the mobile home also owns real estate within Wake County, the tax on the mobile home does not have to be satisfied before receiving the permit. These taxes may be paid according to their regularly scheduled due date.
A holder of a lien on a mobile home may acquire a moving permit for relocating the property to another location in North Carolina without paying the taxes at the time of application. When the permit is issued, the holder of the lien will receive a statement of taxes due against the mobile home and is responsible for payment of the taxes within seven days of the issuance of the permit. Any applicant who is a nonresident of North Carolina must pay the taxes at the time of application for the permit.
Manufacturers and retailers transporting mobile homes, which are part of their inventory, are not required to obtain a moving permit.
