Permit costs for a Miami shed move

Florida treats a shed on a trailer as an oversize load once it exceeds 8'6" wide or 13'6" tall. Permits come from the FDOT Permits Office and generally run $28–$150 per single-trip move. Loads over 12' wide need a front escort; 14'+ need a rear escort. Escort vehicles, when required, typically add $250–$600 per day on top of the haul price.

In Miami specifically: Miami-Dade County public works permitting with the FDOT oversize permit. Small urban lots, concrete block walls and limited side-yard clearance make crane or skid moves more common here than in most markets.

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 Florida permit rules.

What raises or lowers your Miami quote

Site access

Gate width, slope, soft ground, and overhead lines at both ends. Florida crews price extra time for flat terrain but heavy hurricane-shutter and tree-canopy obstacles.

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

Hurricane season dominates the calendar; permit and inspection expectations are stricter than most of the state

Backhaul luck

Haulers already running near Miami 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.
