Michelle – that is an insightful comment. My answer is twofold. It has always been illegal to dispose of a manufactured home by just destroying it and then dumping the remains somewhere. People are supposed to take the old homes to a dump. Usually it is a construction and demolition landfill. That could of course depend upon the resources in your community.

H1134 sets out to provide funding for counties that want to develop a program to remove abandoned homes. Some places in North Carolina have identified this as a problem. The reasons range from a desire to beautify their community, to concerns about crime and the safety of children.

The bill allocates approximately $1000 for counties that remove these units. That is meant to cover transportation, tipping fees, and admin.

Still, to answer your question, individuals will not be breaking the law if they demolish a home and take it to a proper disposal site.

so im guessing with the passing of this bill, just demolishing one of the defined abandoned homes can be constituted as illegal. have they set up any punishments for illegally demolishing homes? the law is still really new but have there been any contest, law suits, etc?

So does the state funding cover the management of this H1134 as well as tipping fees at the county landfill?
