Mobile Home Leveling in Port Charlotte, Florida

Port Charlotte sits right next to North Port, about 7 miles in a straight line from the middle of the City, and the two grew out of the same General Development Corporation project: North Port was first named “North Port Charlotte” and took its current name in 1974. Port Charlotte is a big place with few mobile homes. The 2023 American Community Survey counted about 352 of them, roughly 1% of its homes. If yours is one, we take releveling, tie-down, pier, underbelly and skirting work there. Typical relevel ranges are $450 to $800 for a singlewide and $750 to $1,400 for a doublewide, with your price in writing after we have been under the home.

North Port’s main roads

North Port’s I-75 exits are 179 (Toledo Blade Boulevard), 182 (Sumter Boulevard), 191 (River Road) and 193 (Jacaranda Boulevard), and US 41, the Tamiami Trail, crosses the Myakka River on the City’s west side. Price Boulevard runs across the City between Sumter and Toledo Blade.

Milton: the El Jobean tornado

On October 9, 2024, during Hurricane Milton, the National Weather Service rated an EF1 tornado with peak winds estimated at 94 mph. It came ashore at El Jobean from the mouth of the Myakka River. Piers and straps are under the home, so a change there cannot be seen from the road. If your home was near its path and nobody has been under it since, a post-hurricane inspection checks the level, piers, straps and underbelly.

Wind Zone III and anchors

Charlotte County, like Sarasota County, is HUD Wind Zone III, with a 110 mph design wind. Florida Rule 15C-1 spaces diagonal frame ties no more than 5 feet 4 inches apart in all wind zones, calls for anchors in undisturbed or compacted soil, and says coral anchors are not designed for Zone II or III. Our tie-downs and anchors page walks through what we check.

Permits

Charlotte County is the permit office for Port Charlotte. We have not read Charlotte County’s current mobile home permit rules, so ask the county what your job needs before work starts, and ask whoever does the work who is applying for any permit. Florida requires an FLHSMV mobile home installer licence for installation work: ask for the number and look it up.
