Mobile Home Relocation Check List

  1. Mark (FLAG) the driveway into your lot. For rural lots, it is highly recommended that the county road department approve the driveway location. You may also make arrangements to have the road department install the driveway pipe, so long as the driveway is to be used for residential vehicles only. The County does not install driveway pipes to accommodate large trucks or commercial vehicles. The Road Department may be reached at 864-4434.
  2. Apply for a 911 address if you do not already have one. You will need to contact the Tax Assessors office (864-3325 ext. 2) for a 911 address application.
  3. Contact Johnson County Health Department (864-3542) to obtain:
    1. Approval of lot size.
    2. A percolation test on the lot.
    3. Approval of water and septic system.
    4. Upon approval of the lot, visit the Tax Assessors Office to obtain your relocation permit.
  4. You must bring with you:
    1. Copies of the Septic Tank Permit and site approval form signed by the Health Department.
    2. Copies of a Title or Bill of Sale.
    3. A receipt where taxes have been paid. (Showing the Tax Commissioners office of the county where the mobile home is coming from. If purchased from a dealer, the dealer is required to give you a completed copy of Form PT-41.)
    4. The name, address and phone number of the transporter for the mobile home.
    5. The relocation permit you receive from the Tax Assessors Office is to be displayed on the exterior of the home during transportation and shall remain until replaced by the location permit (DECAL) which you will receive at the time you pay property taxes.
    6. Please inquire as to your eligibility for Homestead Exemption.
