What you'll find in every guide

Each city page covers what a prefab or modular home actually costs to put on a lot there — factory price plus site work — alongside the city's building permit and plan-check fees, development impact fees, SB 9 urban-lot-split status, utility connection charges, and how prefab compares with stick-built locally. Every figure traces to city fee schedules and public records — see our editorial policy.
