Fee schedule

Mobile/Manufactured (MFG) Home Installation Permit — IGA fee, Arizona Dept. of Housing table; includes 3 inspectionsRE-CHASED 2026-07-23 — CLOSED on a live primary source: Cochise County Code §14.12 (AZ Department of Housing — Manufactured Homes and Factory-Built Building), part of the codified Development Services Fee Schedule, billed per the ADOH Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) Fee Schedule for FY2026 (amended 2025-08-05), https://cochisecounty.municipalcodeonline.com/book?type=ordinances#name=14_DEVELOPMENT_SERVICES_FEE_SCHEDULE — accessed via the Browser pane. Supersedes this file's prior $120/2-inspection figure from the 2009 Fee Ordinance 037-09; the fee is now set by the state ADOH IGA table (3 inspections included) rather than a county-set flat fee.
$700 each

Mobile/Manufactured Home SurchargeCochise County Code §14.12. New line item not previously captured in this file; the code excerpt itself does not detail when this surcharge applies (e.g. late/unpermitted installation) — confirm with Development Services (520-432-9300).
$220
Rehabilitated Mobile Home Certification FeeRE-CHASED 2026-07-23 (verified-negative, with residual uncertainty flagged): the $180 flat certification fee this file previously cited from the 2009 Fee Ordinance 037-09 does NOT appear anywhere in the current Cochise County Code §14.12 fee table (checked live via the Browser pane). Per Arizona Department of Housing rule R4-34-606 (https://housing.az.gov/sites/default/files/Rehab-General-Information.pdf), rehabilitation of mobile homes is administered as a STATE (ADOH) permitting/inspection/certification process, not a distinct county fee line item; a dedicated county 'Rehabilitated Mobile Home' program page could not be re-located on cochise.az.gov during this pass (the prior page reference in this file no longer resolves to that content). A rehabilitated mobile home installed in unincorporated Cochise County would still be billed the standard $700 Mobile/Manufactured Home Installation Permit fee above (and possibly the $220 Mobile/Manufactured Home Surcharge) — confirm directly with Development Services (520-432-9300) whether any separate county certification charge still applies.
No standalone county certification fee found in the current (2026-07-23) fee schedule — appears superseded/discontinued

Tips

  • CORRECTED 2026-07-23: the Mobile/Manufactured Home Installation Permit fee is now $700 (includes 3 inspections), not the prior $120/2-inspection figure — the county now bills this via the Arizona Department of Housing's IGA fee table rather than its own flat fee. Additional inspections beyond the included 3 are billed at the $185 re-inspection rate.
  • CORRECTED 2026-07-23: a standalone $180 'Rehabilitated Mobile Home Certification Fee' could not be re-located in the current fee schedule — rehab certification now appears to run through the state ADOH process rather than a distinct county charge. Confirm with Development Services before assuming no county fee applies.
