Why a Permit is Required
Permits are mandatory in Indiana for several reasons:
- Safety: Ensures the route can accommodate the size and weight of your mobile home.
- Legal Compliance: Prevents fines or penalties for moving without proper authorization.
- Traffic Management: Helps authorities coordinate oversized loads and reduce road hazards.
- Local Ordinances: Certain counties, like Marion, Allen, and Lake, have specific regulations.
Do You Need a Permit to Move a Trailer in Indiana?
Yes. Indiana law requires all mobile homes to have a transport permit before leaving their current location. This applies to:
- Residential mobile homes in trailer parks or private land.
- Single wide and double wide manufactured homes.
- Moves within the same county or across state lines.
Without a permit, your mobile home cannot legally travel on public roads.
