A 1200 sq. ft house is pretty small. This creates a high utility ratio to the overall area i.e. you still need a kitchen and bathrooms. This may increase the cost per sq.ft upwards, however if you have a proposed sketch layout, let a few of you local builders look at it. They will give you an idea.

permit and approval fees vary widely from region to region. I suggest you meet with the local zoning and building departments and get their specific feedback.
A very simple question for a local contractor to answer. Just call one and ask. They run about $100 a sq ft in Montana.

for something so small you might want to look at modular homes. this will cost a lot less than a regular built house.
