Currently, temporary registration may be obtained for manufactured homes stored because of a court order, or in circumstances where an MH is not going to be permanent, but only up to 180 days.
As MHProNews understands, most residents do not complete registration after the 180-day expiration date, and sometimes the MH is moved illegally to a different location. If the registration process is not completed, code enforcement goes to the home to flag it, giving 15 days to complete the process. If that does not produce results, the electricity is shut off.
The amendment will require a 15-day registration window as required by state law for a decal to be displayed on the home in a manner that it is visible from the street.
Proposed exceptions include an MH temporarily located within Darlington County with the pre-determined purpose of it leaving the county within 30 days; an MH held by a dealer for display purposes; and an MH passing through Darlington County on a public road on its way out.
MHProNews knows South Carolina has the highest percentage of people residing in MH than any other state, just under 20 percent, last count. ##
