Our Demolition Process
1. Permits & Planning
We obtain all required demolition permits from local authorities and coordinate with utility companies for safe disconnection of electric, water, sewer, and gas services.

Older mobile homes can hide asbestos and lead-based paint. We coordinate with certified environmental contractors for testing where it is warranted and safe abatement of anything found.
3. Structure Removal
Systematic demolition of the mobile home structure, including walls, roof, flooring, skirting, decks, porches, steps, and all attached components.
4. Foundation & Tie-Downs
Removal of concrete piers, steel tie-down anchors, blocking, and leveling materials. Special attention to hurricane tie-down systems common in Florida.
5. Debris Hauling & Disposal
Complete cleanup and proper disposal of all demolition debris at approved facilities. Metal components are separated for recycling when possible.

Florida-Specific Considerations
Hurricane Tie-Down Removal
Florida mobile homes built after 1994 have enhanced hurricane tie-down systems with ground anchors, tie-down straps, and over-the-top ties. These systems require specialized removal techniques and equipment.
We're experienced with all Florida tie-down configurations including auger-type and helical anchors installed in sandy soils common throughout the Tampa Bay area.
Surrendering the Mobile Home Title
In Florida, mobile homes carry a title like a vehicle until the title is retired and the home becomes part of the real estate. If yours still has a title, Florida Statute 319.30(2)(a) requires the owner of record to surrender it once the home is destroyed. Florida has no "DMV" counter for this — titles are handled by FLHSMV through your county Tax Collector's office.
You'll typically surrender the title along with a junked/destroyed mobile home affidavit — and a double-wide has two titles, so it needs two. Exact forms vary by county, so confirm with your Tax Collector before you go. We'll provide written confirmation that the home was demolished and a copy of the permit for your file.
Environmental Compliance in Florida
Older mobile homes can contain asbestos in floor tile, tile adhesive, pipe wrap, siding, and some ceiling and furnace materials, and lead-based paint was not banned for residential use until 1978. Neither is guaranteed to be present - no rule presumes that every older mobile home contains asbestos - but if suspect materials are going to be disturbed, testing is the only way to know.
Asbestos Considerations
- • Floor tiles and adhesives
- • Insulation materials
- • Ceiling and wall textures
- • Ductwork and pipe wrapping
Lead Paint Concerns
- • Interior and exterior paint
- • Cabinet finishes
- • Window frames and trim
- • Metal siding paint
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to demolish a mobile home in Tampa?
Singlewide mobile homes typically cost $3,000-$6,000 to demolish, while doublewide homes range from $5,000-$10,000. Additional costs may apply for environmental abatement of pre-1978 homes containing asbestos or lead paint.
Do I need a permit to demolish a mobile home in Florida?
Yes, Florida requires demolition permits for mobile home removal. Additional permits may be needed for utility disconnections and environmental abatement. We handle all permit applications and coordinate with local authorities.
How long does mobile home demolition take?
Most mobile home demolitions take 1-3 days once permits are approved. Planning and permit approval typically takes 1-2 weeks. Projects requiring environmental abatement may take longer depending on contamination levels.
What happens to my mobile home title after demolition?
If your mobile home still has a Florida title, the owner of record must surrender it after demolition. That requirement is Florida Statute 319.30(2)(a). Florida has no DMV: mobile home titles are handled by FLHSMV, and you file at your county Tax Collector's office, normally with a junked or destroyed mobile home affidavit. A double-wide has two titles, so it needs two forms. We provide written confirmation that the home was demolished plus a copy of the permit for your records.
Can you remove the concrete foundation and tie-downs?
Yes, we remove all foundation components including concrete piers, steel tie-down anchors, and hurricane tie-down systems. Florida mobile homes have specialized anchor systems that require professional removal equipment and expertise.
