Local permit fees for factory-built homes are capped at half the site-built rate
Cities and counties may not charge permit fees for a factory-built home above half the fee for a similar site-built home unless they document higher costs. Once state rules exist, buyers may pay a private agency for installation inspections instead, and the local agency then charges no inspection fee.
