How to Set Up a Mobile Home on Your Property in Texas
Permits, foundation prep, delivery, and utility hookups — here's who handles what.
Setting up a mobile home on your own land involves more steps than buying the home itself — permits, foundation prep, delivery coordination, and utility hookups all have to happen before move-in day. Here's what that process actually looks like.
The 4 real steps
- Permits. We handle the permit process for placing your home on your property.
- Foundation prep. The site needs to be prepped before delivery — we coordinate this as part of setup.
- Delivery coordination. Getting the home from our lot to your land, scheduled around foundation readiness.
- Utility hookup guidance. We provide guidance connecting electric, water, and sewer at your site.
You don't have to coordinate this yourself. Permits, foundation prep, delivery coordination, and utility hookup guidance are all handled as part of our process — most homes deliver in 30-90 days from signing.
Why the timeline varies
The 30-90 day window depends on how ready your site is when you sign. A property with utilities already run to it and a prepped foundation site moves toward the faster end; a property needing more site work from scratch takes longer.
Already own land?
If you already own land, its equity can serve as your down payment, and setup coordination proceeds the same way regardless of financing type. See our land options guide if you're still deciding between placing your home on your own land versus a mobile home park.
