Permit costs for a Denver shed move

Colorado treats a shed on a trailer as an oversize load once it exceeds 8'6" wide or 14'6" tall. Permits come from the CDOT Permits Office and generally run $15–$150 per single-trip move. Mountain corridors often require escorts above 12' wide. Escort vehicles, when required, typically add $250–$600 per day on top of the haul price.

In Denver specifically: City and County of Denver right-of-way permits with CDOT permits. Alley-loaded lots across central Denver require a compact rig; Front Range suburbs are open.

Your hauler pulls the permits and folds the cost into the bid, so the quotes you compare on MoveYourShed are the all-in number. See full Colorado permit rules.

What raises or lowers your Denver quote

Site access

Gate width, slope, soft ground, and overhead lines at both ends. Colorado crews price extra time for high-altitude passes and Front Range wind exposure.

Foundation and blocking

Re-leveling on new blocks or a gravel pad is usually included; a new concrete pad is not.

Disassembly

Sheds wider than the legal limit may need the roof removed or be moved in sections, which adds labor.

Scheduling

Snowpack and mud limit Nov–Mar; May through October is the working season

Backhaul luck

Haulers already running near Denver bid lower to fill empty miles — posting early exposes your job to more of them.

Number of bids

Comparing three or more bids on the same job is the most reliable way to bring the price down.
