Answer:
To legally dispose of your manufactured home in North Carolina, check if your county has a plan for managing abandoned manufactured homes. If such a plan exists, the county will notify you in writing that you must dispose of the abandoned home within ninety days. A hearing will occur within thirty days after you receive the notice, where you can respond to the order.
If the public officer determines that your manufactured home is abandoned after the hearing, you will be ordered to dispose of it within ninety days. Failure to comply may result in the county taking action to dispose of the home, including entering your property to remove it. If the county removes it, you will be responsible for the actual costs incurred, and they may take legal action to recover these costs.
If you do not pay the disposal costs, the county can impose a lien on any real property you own in the county. Relevant statutes include G.S. 130A-309.111 through G.S. 130A-309.118, which outline the management and disposal process for abandoned manufactured homes.
