South Carolina’s Modular Laws and Regulations

There is a different set of laws for the SC modular industry and the manufactured home industry in the state.

The two industries are regulated by different divisions of a state agency known as the SC Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation, usually referred to as “LLR.”

The Manufactured Housing Institute of SC is the member-run business association that represents the manufactured and modular home industries.

Most of the rules governing modular production and sales in SC are found in two locations: the SC Code of Laws and the SC Code of Regulations.
