Can you move an older(1972 model) mobile home from one county to another county in Virginia?

Hello,

We are looking to buy an older mobile home(1972 model) as a starter home on some property. While looking at one, the owner said that a coworker said that there might be some kind of law about moving an older mobile home from one county to the next county in Virgina. We were wondering if there might be such a law. They said that if we bought it that it might not be able to leave the county, which would be totally useless to us, something to do with electrical codes? If you can't answer this please let us know who we might contact to find out. Thanks
