Modular Homes
Personalized for You
Personalize government policy and PRIA will tell you what this bill means for your household, plus every other piece of legislation we track. PRIA reads each provision against your financial profile to show you exactly what matters to your wallet.
3 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 0 costs, 2 mixed.
Starting May 19, 2026, if you replace a preexisting manufactured home with one five years old or newer, your lawful nonconforming use can continue. Cities and counties cannot use zoning or similar rules to block the replacement in a park or on other residential land. In mapped flood zones, the new home must meet current flood elevation and building code rules that are enforced for all dwelling types. The protection does not apply if safety or other laws enforced on all homes require stopping the use. It also does not apply if the nonconforming use ended for the local period (at least 12 months), if the replacement changes the use from a single‑family home, if it would block a shared driveway or sidewalk unless fixed, or if the property owner does not consent.
Starting May 19, 2026, South Carolina applies these state modular standards only to single‑family on‑frame modular homes built after January 1, 2005. These on‑frame homes must still meet the state’s structural and foundation rules (roof pitch, eaves or steeper roofs, adequate wall height, compatible exterior materials, and a permanent perimeter foundation). Coastal or flood‑prone sites may require engineered pilings and local review. A single‑family modular display model may be sold for first residential use if it has a valid modular label, meets the wind and seismic rules in effect when labeled, has not been altered, and the seller gives written notice that it met the code at manufacture. The old five‑year limit on using display models as homes is removed.
Starting May 19, 2026, a county or city can create a residential improvement district that crosses into another jurisdiction. The other government must consent by resolution. All property owners in the proposed area must approve, as state law requires. These districts can later fund local projects and may charge property owners, depending on future actions.
