A manufactured home moving through Connecticut travels under an oversize/overweight permit from CTDOT, applied for through the DMV Commercial Vehicle Operations web portal. It's the standard permit for moving an over-width load on state highways.

Connecticut requires an oversize permit for any load wider than 8 feet 6 inches. A manufactured home is almost always wider than that, so a permit is required for essentially every move.

Connecticut has a stricter escort rule specifically for mobile homes: a home over 10 feet wide — or over 85 feet long — requires both a front and a rear escort. General oversize loads only trigger an escort at 12 feet, so homes are held to a tighter standard.

A manufactured home in Connecticut is installed under the State Building Code, with the permit issued by the local building official. Manufactured-home communities are governed separately under state law. The home needs its HUD certification label.

The transport permit belongs to the mover — it's issued to the person or firm that will actually transport the load. As a concierge move, the licensed carrier holds the permit for you.
