HEIGHT : SD, MN, and ND law requires notification of utilities. Most states require at least 5 working days’ notice. The house will have to be ready to move on the date set to move, or it will delay the moving date at least one week. This includes cable TV, railroads, and electric companies, basically anything that is above the roadway. MHM, Inc. will notify the utilities, but the deposits, and any costs or final bills associated with a particular moving project will be the customer’s responsibilities. Anything above roof peak, such as chimneys, air vents, whirly birds, etc., must be taken down by a professional installer and re-installed onsite by a professional. MHM is not responsible for objects above the peak of the roof. Dormers must be below the main peak of the house. Air vents that are glued down will be customer responsibility.

The insured value is the price the customer pays for the house at the time of purchase. As stated above, the insurance does not cover shingle, eve, siding, or cracks in walls or ceilings. (Coverage begins with our first act required to prepare for the move, and ends on the completion of the last act required to finish the move, or 120 days, whichever comes first. Additional cargo insurance may be purchased, and will be billed to the customer.)
Permits
Customer is responsible for checking with the city and/or county as to the permits required and the ordinances regulating the building codes and the tree trimming.

Foundation
Basement or foundation walls MUST be at least 24 inches out of the ground level---the beams CANNOT be pulled out from under the house if the openings are below ground once it is set down.

The landscaping fill dirt can be placed around the house after the moving of the house.
Sill sealer & basement posts MUST be available at the time of moving. Customers are encouraged to build a center wall under the house, thus eliminating the need for a header.
