How busy is Smith County?

TDHCA issued 811 manufactured home ownership records for homes installed in Smith County from October 2025 through September 2026: 309 for new homes and 502 for used homes [16]. Every new home has to be delivered and set up by a licensed installer, and many used-home sales mean a move too. Nearby counties: Henderson 479, Van Zandt 280, Wood 257, Cherokee 274, Rusk 228, Upshur 193. All East Texas counties.

Before you book the move

Inside city limits: since September 1, 2026, Texas cities that have zoning must allow new HUD-code manufactured homes by right in at least one residential zoning district, show those areas on the zoning map, and can't demand a special use permit for a new manufactured home if they don't require one for other homes in the same zoning [13] [14]. Used homes aren't covered, and deed restrictions created before January 2, 2025 still apply [13] [14]. Read our SB 785 guide.

Outside city sewer: a septic system (OSSF) needs a permit and an approved plan before it's built, altered or repaired. The permit comes from your county's permitting authority (or the TCEQ regional office where there isn't one). A single-family home on 10 acres or more can be exempt if it still meets the state design rules; check with the local permitting authority first [15]. Plan this before the move date: the authority has up to 30 days to approve or deny the plans [15].

Paperwork: the mover gets the TxDMV single-trip permit ($40 per section), the installer files Form T with TDHCA, and you update the Statement of Ownership with the new location [5] [9] [8]. Details: permits and paperwork · cost guide · check a mover's license · putting a home on rural land.

Counts are ownership records issued (new homes plus sales and transfers of used homes), not a count of moves. Pulled from TDHCA on October 22, 2026.
