Washington’s Department of Health is raising mobile home park operating fees by up to 250 percent, according to a recent report. The agency’s October 2025 Economic Impact Analysis Fee Adjustment Report reveals the increases, which will impact operators of mobile home parks, manufactured housing communities, and temporary worker housing.
Affordable Housing Affected
The fee increases will affect some of the state’s most affordable places to live, including temporary worker housing that houses seasonal agricultural workers. The administrative processing fee for temporary worker housing will jump from $50 to $170, while the per occupant charge at maximum annual occupancy will increase from $4 to $14, a 250% increase.
Additionally, wastewater and on-site sewage system fees will also increase. Mobile parks frequently rely on large on-site sewage systems because municipal sewers are unavailable. The operator permit base fee will rise from $608 to $1,414 in 2026 and then to $2,219 in 2027.
