The South Carolina Petition for Removal & Destruction of Derelict Mobile Home is a legal document that must be filed in order to request permission from the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (DEC) to remove and destroy a mobile home that has been deemed derelict. In order to be approved, the petitioner must provide evidence that the mobile home is in violation of the DEC regulations, is hazardous to public health, safety, or welfare, or is creating a nuisance. The Petition must include the mobile home’s location, a description of the mobile home, and why the mobile home must be removed and destroyed. There are two types of South Carolina Petition for Removal & Destruction of Derelict Mobile Home: voluntary and involuntary. A voluntary Petition can be filed by the owner of the mobile home, whereas an involuntary Petition must be filed by a third party such as a neighbor or a municipality.
