Mobile Home Removal in Myrtle Beach, SC

What does mobile home removal cover around Myrtle Beach?

A request through this site can cover demolition and disposal of a single-wide, double-wide, damaged unit, or separately owned home after the legal authority to remove it is established. The written scope decides whether contents, decks, additions, the steel frame, foundations, grading, and final cleanup are included; this site does not route requests to move a reusable home to another property.

Most people call this “removal.” Some call it demolition, teardown, or just getting rid of the trailer. Same job here: the home comes down where it sits and the agreed debris goes out—it is not moved intact to another property.

Five common removal situations

Full teardown and disposal. A request may include demolition, loading, hauling, lawful disposal, and the final cleanup stated in the quote. See mobile home demolition and disposal.

An abandoned trailer that may not be yours. Owning the land does not automatically establish ownership of the home sitting on it. South Carolina has separate legal paths for removal and sale or removal and destruction. See abandoned mobile home removal.

Fire, storm, flood, or collapse damage. Structural instability, water, contents, insurance documentation, utilities, and regulated materials can change the inspection and removal plan. Do not enter an unstable unit to gather information. See damaged mobile home removal.

A park or several units under one project. Multiple homes in a compact area under one owner or operator can change the state asbestos classification even when one private residence would be exempt. See mobile home park clearing.

What stays or goes below and beside the home. Skirting, decks, porches, room additions, sheds, carports, piers, footings, slabs, anchors, and grading are separate scope questions. See site clearing after removal.

Review all mobile home removal request types before deciding what belongs in the quote.

Never assume these are included

Not covered by a request through this site: moving a home intact to a new site, setting up a replacement home, standalone asbestos testing or abatement, conventional house or commercial-building demolition, tree removal, septic-system abandonment, and grading beyond the provider's written scope.

What drives the cost of mobile home removal in Myrtle Beach, SC?

No verified local average can price an unseen property. Cost changes with the home type and condition, contents, access, utilities, attachments, foundation scope, debris categories, permit path, ownership issues, and the final lot condition.

Here's the honest part: this page cannot quote your job, and you should not trust a firm price that ignores the property. A price that does not account for your access, contents, utility status, foundation, and disposal scope is not a property-specific quote. What this page can show you is which numbers are fixed and published, so you can understand the quote instead of taking it on faith.

The things that actually move the number

Home type and condition. A single-wide, double-wide, joined addition, collapsed section, fire damage, or water damage changes the work and debris.

Contents. Furniture, appliances, household waste, tires, tanks, electronics, and chemicals can require separate labor or handling.

Sorting. Mixed construction material, clean wood, shingles, concrete, land-clearing debris, tires, and special waste carry different published facility charges.

Access. Gates, overhead lines, soft ground, nearby homes, trees, private roads, and truck or container placement can change the equipment plan.

What is attached or below it. Decks, porches, skirting, additions, piers, footings, slabs, anchors, and the frame are not one automatic package.

Utilities. The provider must identify who handles electric, water, sewer, septic, well, propane, gas, and underground-facility notice responsibilities.

Jurisdiction. The City of Myrtle Beach and unincorporated Horry County publish different permit requirements and fees.

Ownership and title. Separate ownership, liens, a retired title, or an estate can prevent demolition from moving straight to scheduling.

Final lot condition. Rough debris removal, foundation removal, grading, stabilization, and redevelopment-ready work are different scopes.

What the landfill charges

These are the Horry County Solid Waste Authority's currently posted landfill charges. They are facility charges, not a contractor quote, and the provider must confirm where each material will be accepted and how it will be handled.

The price gap between material categories makes sorting a real quote question. Ask whether separation is included, which categories the provider expects, and whether disposal tickets or weight records will be available. The schedule states that contamination and prohibited-load charges use a sliding scale for additional offenses.

Asphalt shingles are currently charged at the same $47.50-per-ton rate as mixed construction debris. That matters whenever shingles are part of the accepted load.

Fees set by an office, not a contractor

Verified July 25, 2026:

City of Myrtle Beach demolition permit: $150 per building or structure, plus any applicable City business-licensing fees associated with the demolition job value.

City of Myrtle Beach demolition bond: $2,000 per one-half acre, with a $2,000 minimum, in the form stated by the City's currently posted packet, unless a new redevelopment application is submitted. The City says a paid bond is returned after final inspection and acceptance of the property condition; it is not provider revenue and is not returned before those conditions are met.

City dust-control water: $1,000 deposit when a new fire-hydrant service meter is used. The packet also describes using the property's existing water meter when a hydrant is unavailable, so the hydrant deposit is not automatic on every job.

Horry County demolition permit: $50. The County's current forms page links a Schedule of Permit Fees whose demolition section lists $50 for a building or structure.

Call (843) 582-0507 to price the property-specific scope

Tell us what is on the property and what must remain. The provider confirms the quote, payment terms, and exclusions.

Which permit path applies to your address?

The project address determines whether the City of Myrtle Beach, unincorporated Horry County, or another municipality controls the local permit. Ownership, asbestos classification, utilities, and the requested final lot condition create separate branches that must be resolved before authorized demolition begins.

Is the property inside the City or in unincorporated Horry County?

Do not go by the postal city alone. Confirm the parcel's actual jurisdiction before an application is filed because the City and County publish different fees and submittals, and the City's currently posted packet includes specific post-demolition requirements.

The provider should state who verifies jurisdiction and who files the permit. The owner should receive the permit number or other proof of authorization before work that requires the permit begins.

When does the state asbestos rule apply?

SCDES exempts a private residence containing four or fewer units unless one of its listed exceptions applies. Those exceptions include work performed by a licensed asbestos-abatement contractor; a larger commercial or public project; multiple private residences in a compact area under one owner or operator; a residence that is part of an installation; fire training; and a residence previously used for nonresidential purposes.

When the project is a regulated facility, SCDES requires an ePermitting application at least 10 working days before demolition even if a building inspector finds no asbestos. The owner and demolition contractor are both responsible for compliance under the current state guidance.

Nobody should cut, sample, break, or disturb suspect material to decide which category applies. A qualified building or asbestos professional or SCDES determines the applicable classification; the provider should document the path used for the project.

Who turns off the power and caps the water?

Not the homeowner. This is where people get hurt.

For a City of Myrtle Beach project, the currently posted packet requires a plumber licensed in the City to cap water and sewer at the street, says the permit will not be issued until the City's water-and-sewer inspection is complete, and requires electrical-service disconnection before permit issuance. The packet also requires the stated dust-control arrangement and a silt fence at or before permitting.

Underground-facility notice is the excavator's legal duty. Under the South Carolina law effective May 22, 2026, the excavator must give the notification center notice 3 to 12 full working days, not including the notice day, before non-subaqueous excavation or demolition. Ask the provider who files and tracks the notice; do not cut, cap, pull, or disconnect a service based on this page.

Call (843) 582-0507 to identify the permit path for the address

Tell us the address, ownership status, utility status, and number of homes. A provider will confirm the next step.

How does mobile home removal work, and how long can it take?

A removal request moves through three stages: define the property and desired finish; confirm jurisdiction, authority, utilities, materials, access, disposal, price, and schedule; then complete only the authorized written scope. The physical work is only one part of the calendar, and no total duration should be promised before the property-specific branches are known.

Step one — describe the property. Address, single-wide or double-wide, rough dimensions, condition, who owns the land and home, what remains inside, which utilities exist, how equipment can reach it, and what the lot should look like at the end.

Step two — the provider confirms the path. Whether the address and condition are handled. Whether an on-site assessment is needed. Who verifies jurisdiction, obtains the permit, coordinates utilities, resolves title or ownership questions, addresses asbestos classification, and handles disposal. Then the provider confirms the written scope, exclusions, price, payment terms, availability, and schedule.

Step three — authorized work and final acceptance. Required notices and permits are completed, utilities are handled by the responsible parties, the agreed home and attachments are removed, material follows the documented disposal plan, and the lot is left in the condition defined in writing. Any required final inspection or acceptance comes before the project is treated as complete.

What can hold the schedule?

A real quote separates the preparation window from the field-work window. One total number of days given before jurisdiction, ownership, utilities, and material rules are known is not a property-specific schedule.

Call (843) 582-0507 to check timing for this address

Tell us the address and any outside deadline. The provider confirms how the permit and preparation path affects scheduling.

What should you have ready before you call?

Eight answers turn a vague call into a real request: the address, home type and rough size, ownership, remaining contents, utilities, attachments, access, and desired final lot condition. Photos taken from a safe location and any title, permit, inspection, insurance, code, or tax documents can reduce back-and-forth without asking you to enter an unsafe structure.

The property

• Street address and parcel PIN or tax-map number, if available
• Actual municipality or unincorporated-county jurisdiction, if known
• Any park, HOA, private-road, lender, insurer, sale, or code-enforcement deadline

The home

• Single-wide, double-wide, or not sure
• Rough length and width
• Vacant, occupied, or unsafe to enter
• Fire, storm, water, rot, pest, or collapse damage
• Exterior photos taken from a safe location

Ownership

• Do you own the land?
• Do you own the mobile home?
• Is the title active, retired, missing, or unknown?
• Are liens, back taxes, an estate, heirs, or lender interests involved?
• Do you have owner authorization if you are requesting service for someone else?

What is still there

• Furniture, household waste, appliances, electronics, tires, chemicals, or tanks
• Decks, porches, skirting, additions, sheds, or carports
• Steel frame, piers, footings, slab, and tie-downs

Utilities

• Electric
• Municipal water or private well
• Municipal sewer or septic system
• Propane or natural gas, if present
• Whether any service appears active; do not test or disconnect it yourself

Access

• Road and gate width
• Overhead lines
• Trees and neighboring structures
• Soft, wet, or obstructed ground
• Space for equipment, trucks, and containers

The finish

• Home only or every named attachment
• Contents included or removed first
• Frame removed or retained
• Foundation removed, partly removed, or retained
• Rough cleanup, grading, stabilization, or another written end condition

You have now got the whole picture in front of you. That is the hard part done—the call is reading it off.

What is left when the mobile home is gone?

Three things can outlive the demolition: what remains in the ground, the title or vehicle record, and the county tax record. None clears itself automatically; the written scope and the responsible offices must show what happens next.

The foundation question

Inside Myrtle Beach city limits, the City's currently posted demolition ordinance requires the demolition plan to remove mowing obstructions, construction debris and materials, and structural foundations unless the applicant demonstrates that the foundation will be reused in redevelopment beginning within six months of permit issuance. The ordinance requires removal of those materials within 14 days after the structure is removed, allows grading to be required, and establishes the City's stabilization and ongoing-maintenance conditions.

That is a City rule. Do not apply it automatically to an unincorporated County parcel or another municipality; ask what that authority requires and put the accepted final lot condition in the provider's written scope.

The title or retired-title record

In South Carolina, an active mobile-home title and a retired title are not the same paperwork path. SCDMV says de-titling retires the mobile-home title after the required county land-record document, title, lien release if applicable, tax proof, and fee are submitted; a Manufactured Home Severance Affidavit is used when a title-retired home is separated from real property for a move, not as the routine demolition form.

Before demolition, establish the recorded owner and any lienholder or real-property security interest. After a home is destroyed, SCDMV says notification from the county auditor or the demolisher causes the vehicle record to be marked junked, after which no future title can be issued.

The tax record

Demolition does not update every record by itself. SCDMV says the county auditor must be notified after demolition so the home can be removed from the tax rolls, and Horry County states that the owner is responsible for reporting address, ownership, location, or damage changes to the Assessor.

South Carolina Code §12-49-85(D) creates a specific result for a derelict mobile home removed and disposed of under §6-1-150: after the county assessor receives satisfactory proof, the auditor removes the home from the records and current duplicate, and amounts on the tax notice that are due as a result of the home's value are waived. That rule does not erase unrelated obligations or make removal costs disappear.

When the land and home have different owners

South Carolina Code §6-1-150 provides two distinct paths. A landowner seeking removal and sale may apply to a magistrate and follow §29-15-10 without first having the home declared derelict; a landowner seeking removal and destruction as a derelict home must obtain the local inspection and written confirmation, file the required pleadings, notify the owner and lienholders, post notice on each door for 30 consecutive days, and obtain the court's order.

This is a summary of the published statute, not legal advice. A local official, title professional, magistrates-court staff, or attorney must determine what applies to a specific property.

Where can a mobile home removal request be routed?

This homepage is dedicated to mobile home removal in Myrtle Beach. Requests from nearby Horry County addresses may also be submitted, but routing is not a promise of service; the provider confirms address coverage, project fit, timing, and terms.

Review the mobile home removal service area for the current coverage framework. Call (843) 582-0507 with the exact address rather than relying on a mailing city or an assumed service radius.

How do you check a provider before hiring?

Verify the legal business identity, written scope, permit responsibility, utility responsibility, disposal plan, completion standard, payment schedule, and every credential the provider says applies. This site is the independent request-and-routing website; the third-party provider confirms and performs any work it agrees to provide.

South Carolina LLR provides a free public license lookup. Ask which license or registration applies to the actual scope, verify any number the provider gives you, and do not assume one universal demolition-license classification covers every residential, commercial, utility, asbestos, plumbing, electrical, or hauling task that might touch the project.

Here is what we are: an independent request site, not the contractor. We do not own trucks, we do not employ crews, and we have never torn down a trailer. Calls and forms may be shared with a third-party provider, and that provider confirms and performs any work it agrees to provide.

Four questions worth asking

• Who is obtaining the permit, and how will I receive the permit number or approval?
• Which facility or disposal route will receive each material, and will disposal records be available?
• Are the contents, frame, decks, additions, piers, footings, and slab included or excluded?
• What changes the price, how are change orders approved, and what must happen before final payment?

Get the scope in writing before anyone starts. It should identify the structure, contents, attachments, foundation, frame, utility responsibilities, permit responsibility, regulated-material responsibility, hauling and disposal, final lot condition, exclusions, change-order process, payment milestones, and completion standard.

Do not pay against a vague promise. A deposit or payment schedule should connect to a named contracting party, a defined scope, the permit path, and written milestones rather than an informal agreement to “take it for the scrap.”

If a free-removal or scrap-for-removal offer is real, it should survive being written down—including who owns the frame, who pays disposal charges, whether contents and foundations are included, what remains on the lot, and what happens if the job stops. Scrap value does not define completion.
