The fortmorgantimes in northeast Colorado tells MHProNews building permits for single-family homes rose 50 percent to 18 from 2011 to 2012 in Morgan County, with an average price of $244,890 each. The county also issued eight permits for manufactured homes and eight for mobile homes in 2012, up from five manufactured homes and two mobile homes the previous year. Ed. note:  Although it is possible a permit might be issued to re-site a pre-HUD Code home, nevertheless a request for a distinction between the two from the reporter did not elicit an immediate response.
