How to move a mobile home in South Carolina: permits, taxes and setup

In South Carolina you need a county moving permit before relocating, and it needs a treasurer's certificate that no taxes are unpaid, plus a title or title application.

  1. County moving permit

    Before relocation the owner gets a moving permit from the county licensing agent. The agent needs a certificate from the county treasurer that no taxes are unpaid, plus a copy of the title or the title application filed with the SCDMV. If the home leaves the county, that year's taxes must be paid in full.

  2. During and after the move

    The moving permit must go with the home during the move, and the transporter is responsible for it. After a move to another county, the owner submits the permit to that county within 15 days and gets a new license.
