Plain English

Colo. Rev. Stat. § 38-12-1106 establishes a mandatory annual registration system for mobile home parks in Colorado, administered by the state division. Landlords must submit detailed registration forms—covering ownership identity, lot and home counts, rent history, and water/sewer arrangements—and pay an annual per-home fee set by the division. Ownership changes must be reported within thirty days, and parks that miss registration or renewal deadlines face delinquency fees of up to $5,000.

For Property Managers

Under Colo. Rev. Stat. § 38-12-1106, compliant mobile home park operators register their park with the division before applicable deadlines, submit renewal forms annually by the division-assigned expiration date, and pay the required per-home registration fee. Registration forms—available in English and Spanish on the division's website—require detailed ownership documentation, including LLC good-standing certificates and controlling-entity names where applicable. Operators also report ownership changes to the division within thirty days and, if they pass any portion of the fee to residents, ensure that amount does not exceed the statutory cap (currently half the fee, and no more than $17 per home beginning January 1, 2027).

For Tenants

Colo. Rev. Stat. § 38-12-1106 gives home owners and residents in mobile home parks a right to know that their park is registered with the state division, and the registration system is one mechanism through which the state tracks park conditions and ownership. If a landlord charges residents a share of the registration fee, that charge is capped by law—currently at half the fee, and no more than $17 per home once the 2027 provision takes effect. Residents who believe their park is unregistered or that they are being overcharged for the registration fee can contact the division through its statewide toll-free number described in § 38-12-1106(11) or reach out to a tenant-rights organization for guidance on available options.
