Thank you.
Can't see from your picture to offer any valuable advice.
If, you are concerned about roots from the tree going under your home, It would be easy enough for you to dig down and see what is happening.
Like many things if the trunk is beyond, I think it is 6 inches you need a permit to remove it.
A tree can be moved. It will be costly.
