New Hampshire Permit Rules for Shed Moves
Any shed move in Rochester that exceeds 8'6" wide or 13'6" tall on the trailer becomes an oversize load under New Hampshire rules. The permit comes from the NHDOT, and the fee is typically $20–$120 for a single-trip move.
Escort required above 12' wide. New Hampshire is known for White Mountain grades and covered-bridge avoidance, which affects route planning more than in flatter states. Your hauler handles the permit, the route survey if one's needed, and any escort coordination — you don't have to call the state.
Rule of thumb for Rochester homeowners: any shed narrower than 8'6" (10x-anything, most 10x12s and 10x14s) usually moves without a permit. 12-wide sheds and bigger nearly always trigger one.
