Registration Data

Registration Requirements

Under Colorado law, landlords must register mobile home parks in Colorado with the Division of Housing and renew each year before the expiration date.

Landlords must register new mobile home parks in Colorado within three months of making the lots available for rent.

If a park isn’t actively registered or owes a registration or a penalty fee, the landlord can’t increase rent. Find out how landlords can increase park rent.

If you must register, visit the when and how to register page to learn more.

Definitions to Help You Determine If You Must Register

Mobile Home Park

As of June 4, 2024, a mobile home park in Colorado is any property used for the accommodation of five or more mobile homes for which the owner or management either:

  • has a rental agreement with a resident for a mobile home or mobile home lot
  • receives rent payments from a resident or third party for a mobile home or mobile home lot

See section 38-12-201.5(6), C.R.S.

Mobile Home

All of the following characteristics define a mobile home. A mobile home:

  • Is a single-family dwelling
  • Is built on a permanent chassis
  • Is designed for long-term living
  • Contains complete electrical, plumbing, and sanitary facilities
  • Is designed to be installed permanently or semipermanently with or without a permanent foundation
  • Can be drawn over public highways

Other structures that are also considered mobile homes in state statute include:

  • Manufactured homes in a mobile home park
  • Tiny homes built in compliance with the state design standards on or after July 1, 2023
  • Factory-built residential structures or modular homes in a mobile home park with all of the characteristics of a mobile home
  • Any pre-1976 mobile home

Recreational vehicles, motor homes, camper trailers, or fifth wheel trailers are not mobile homes.

See section 38-12-201.5(5), C.R.S. and 8 CCR 1302-15 Rule 1.3. You can also get the details on which homes are mobile homes under Colorado law.

Subdivisions and Parcels That Aren’t Next to Each Other

Mobile home subdivisions or property zoned for manufactured home subdivisions are generally not mobile home parks under state statute.

But if an owner owns a parcel, subdivided parcels, or interests in the same neighborhood and the parcel(s) meets the other characteristics of a mobile home park, the owner must register. This may include parcels that aren’t next to each other if the Division of Housing determines the land is in the same neighborhood.

See section 38-12-201.5(6)-(6.5), C.R.S. and 8 CCR 1302-15 Rule 1.5.

If the Definitions Don’t Fit Your Property

If you believe you aren’t required to register or renew your registration, you must submit a written request not to be required to register:

  • Within 30 days of receiving the park’s registration packet if you have never registered before
  • Before your park’s registration expires if your registration renewal is due

To make this request, you must:

  • Explain why you believe your property may not meet the definition of a mobile home park 
  • List the number of mobile homes on the property where you have a rental agreement or receive rental payments for the mobile home or lot
  • Give an estimated date of when the property changed to have fewer than five mobile homes or lots with rental agreements or rental payments
  • Describe whether you intend to add more mobile home residents to the property and when you expect them to be available for rent
