Tips

  • Confirmed gap: no Town-published fee line item specific to 'Manufactured Home Installation' was found distinct from the general Building Permit Fee (75% valuation modifier); the standard residential building-permit fee structure is applied here as the best-available governing figure after an exhaustive check of the Town's current (2025) Fee Schedule, which itemizes Homes, Garage, Portable Sheds/Containers/Carports, Fences, and Plan Review but does not separately list manufactured homes.
  • This is a two-permit process: a Town of Taylor building permit AND a separate Arizona Office of Manufactured Housing (OMH) state installation permit are both required — the Town's own handout is explicit that OMH governs the technical installation/anchoring standards while the Town governs zoning, placement, and the local aesthetic-parity requirements (matching exterior material, roof pitch, porch/deck requirement).
  • Single-wide manufactured homes are geographically restricted: allowed ONLY on agricultural-zoned property via a discretionary Conditional Use Permit with a public hearing — they are not a permitted use anywhere else in Town.

Taylor, Arizona has adopted: Arizona has NO statewide mandatory building code floor for general construction — code adoption is a per-city/town authority under state enabling statutes (A.R.S. Title 9). The Town of Taylor independently adopts and administers its own construction codes through its own Building/Zoning Department (Development Services Department) at Taylor Town Hall; it does not defer building permitting to Navajo County. Verified independence: Taylor maintains its own Municipal Code Chapter 15.05 (Building and Construction Codes), its own Fee Schedule (effective April 5, 2025), its own Building Permit Application, and a dedicated Building Official/Zoning Administrator position reporting to the Town Manager. The Town shares only Fire/EMS (Taylor-Snowflake Fire) and Police (Snowflake-Taylor Police Department) with the adjacent Town of Snowflake — building/zoning permitting is NOT a shared program between the two towns.
