How much does a triple wide manufactured home cost in Florida?
Triple wide manufactured homes in Florida run $230,523 to $346,900 at base price. Freddie Mac put Florida's 2024 average new manufactured home sale price at $135,100, about 9.6 percent above the national average, split between $91,500 for single-section and $156,400 for double-section homes.
Florida prices moved differently from most states over the past year: down 4.9 percent year over year even as the 5-year change ran to plus 56.4 percent and the 10-year change to plus 92.7 percent. A triple wide's larger footprint places it above the state's double-section figure, the same pattern seen in every state on this site.
Does a triple wide get one title or three in Florida?
A triple wide gets three separate titles in Florida, one per section, the same way a double wide gets two. Each section is titled and registered with its own decal through the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, even though the finished home functions as a single dwelling.
This is a genuinely unusual approach. Texas and Georgia both treat a multi-section home as one titled record regardless of section count; Florida titles and registers each factory-built box individually, under Florida Statutes section 320.8225 for manufacturers and the registration rules administered by county tax collector offices. A buyer closing on a triple wide in Florida should expect to see three title numbers on the closing paperwork, not one, and a lienholder must be satisfied on all three before the sale can close cleanly.
Once every section's title is retired, through the same process used for a single-section home, and the home is permanently affixed to land the owner holds, the home becomes real property. In Florida that unlocks not just conventional mortgage rates but eligibility for the state's homestead exemption, a property tax benefit that makes title retirement worth pursuing even for a buyer who doesn't need the financing change.
What wind zone is Florida for manufactured homes?
Most of Florida is HUD Wind Zone II, rated for 130 mph winds. The southern tip of the state and the Atlantic coast fall in Wind Zone III, rated for 150 mph, the highest HUD wind rating in the country.
Every home built after 13 July 1994 for installation in Wind Zone II or III carries a manufacturer's data plate certifying it meets that zone's design standard. Diagonal tie-downs are required no farther apart than 5 feet 4 inches on center, with anchors placed within 2 feet of each end of the home, under Florida Administrative Code Rule 15C-1.0104. Installation must be performed by a licensed installer, dealer installer or manufacturer installer, not a general contractor without that specific license.
What escort requirements does Florida have for moving a triple wide?
Florida requires two qualified escorts, one front and one rear, for the entire move once a manufactured home section exceeds the width threshold, and requires four warning lights on the load itself rather than the two required for most other oversize loads.
Loads over 16 feet wide must carry a Survey Letter on board for law enforcement and weight inspectors to review on request. Escort vehicles must display an "OVERSIZE LOAD" sign with letters at least 10 inches high, along with two 18-inch flags mounted at a 40 to 70 degree angle, requirements set out in the Florida Administrative Code and enforced by the FDOT State Permit Office. Since a triple wide moves as three separate sections, these requirements apply three times over for one home.
Where in Florida do triple wide homes actually go?
Triple wide homes in Florida go predominantly on privately owned land in rural and exurban counties, since community lots built for single and double wides rarely offer the width a triple wide needs after setbacks.
Zoning is set county by county with no statewide standard, and Florida's wind zone rules add a second layer beyond typical setback and lot-size review: a county's building department will confirm both that manufactured housing is permitted on the parcel and that the specific home's data plate matches the parcel's wind zone before issuing an installation permit.
Which triple wide floor plans are available in Florida?
Jacobsen Homes builds in Florida itself, from Safety Harbor, making it the shortest possible delivery distance for a Florida buyer among manufacturers in this database. Champion Homes and Live Oak Homes both serve Florida from nearby Southeast plants as well.
Filter the full database by bedrooms, square footage and assembled width to shortlist plans, then confirm current availability and the plan's wind zone rating with a Florida retailer, since inventory changes as units sell.
