Alabama Administrative Code r. 535-X-19 § 535-X-19-.05 establishes a schedule of fees that manufacturers, retailers, leasing companies, salespersons, installers, and third-party approvers must pay to participate in Alabama's Modular/Manufactured Building Program. The fees cover activities such as plan approvals for electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and structural systems, licensing, insignia issuance, and training certifications. Additional charges apply for late payments (50% surcharge) and returned checks ($30), and retailers must submit a per-unit fee by the 10th of each month for used modular buildings sold, leased, or leased-to-purchase in the prior month.

Modular retailers, leasing companies, and manufacturers operating in Alabama should be familiar with the full fee schedule set out in Ala. Admin. Code r. 535-X-19 § 535-X-19-.05, as each license category, plan approval, and insignia carries a distinct cost. Compliant operators typically ensure that monthly reports and per-unit fees for used modular buildings are submitted by the 10th of each month to avoid the 50% late payment surcharge. Maintaining current licenses, installer certifications, and decals as required under § 535-X-19-.05 is part of routine program compliance for businesses in this space.
