Fee schedule

Mobile Home Permit FeeRe-chased 2026-07-19 and confirmed via primary source (not a guess): Municipal Code Chapter 14.10, Section 109.3 'Building Permit Valuations' (added by Ordinance No. 9, Series 2022 § 2; confirmed still current via a real-browser render of ecode360.com/47882243, legislation through 03-24-2026) states: 'Valuation for any factory-built housing or factory-built non-residential unit shall be the actual cost, as those terms are defined in the Colorado Housing Act of 1970, C.R.S 24-32-701, plus the actual cost of the foundation.' Colorado's factory-built-structure statutes (C.R.S. Title 24, Article 32, Part 33, the successor scheme to the 1970 Housing Act provisions cited in the ordinance) define 'manufactured home' to expressly include mobile homes. Section 109.2 routes 'buildings, structures, additions, and/or alterations requiring a permit' generally through the Appendix L fee schedule (same Ordinance No. 9, Series 2022 exhibit; see building-permit permitType) with no separate mobile-home-specific fee schedule adopted anywhere else found — confirming mobile home placement is billed under the general valuation-based Building Permit fee structure, just with a different (actual-cost) valuation input than site-built construction. Source: gunnisonco.gov/departments/city_clerk/ordinance.no9.series2022.pdf.
Same valuation-based fee structure as the general Building Permit (the 'Appendix L' bracket schedule — see the building-permit permitType's 'Base Building Permit Fee' entry), applied to a valuation equal to the actual cost of the manufactured/mobile home plus the actual cost of the foundation — not the ICC Building Valuation Data Table used for site-built construction.

    Tips

    • Gunnison County publishes its own separate Manufactured (Mobile) Homes permitting pages, but those apply only to unincorporated county land — for a placement inside City of Gunnison limits, use the City's Mobile Home Permit Application via the City's Building Office, not the County.
    • Mobile/manufactured home placement is billed under the same valuation-based Building Permit ('Appendix L') fee schedule as ordinary construction — per Municipal Code Chapter 14.10 § 109.3, its valuation is the actual cost of the unit plus the actual cost of the foundation, rather than the ICC Building Valuation Data Table rate used for site-built structures.
