Moving a House or Garage

A home or garage may only be moved in or through the City of Fargo or its extraterritorial area by a house mover licensed by the City of Fargo. House mover licenses are issued by the city Auditor's Office.

If you are already a licensed house mover, you may submit an application for a house moving permit. A meeting may be required among relevant city departments and the house mover who submits an application. Such meetings are scheduled on alternate Thursdays at 10:30 a.m. as needed.
