Direct Scrape & Replace concept episode. Important correction for underwriting: the episode says July 15, 1976, but HUD's official Manufactured Housing sources identify June 15, 1976 as the federal standards cutoff/effective date. Use June 15, 1976 for due diligence. Episode also discusses existing infrastructure, title retirement/detitling and reported $30K–$100K profit spreads.

Tennessee Septic Service Request & SSDS Permitting

Tennessee Department of Environment & Conservation

Septic; Soil Evaluation; Building Pad; Site Work; Subdivision; Alternative Systems; Due Diligence

Tennessee's official septic guidance states that a conventional septic permit should be obtained before dirt work or construction, including the building pad, and provides the process for conventional, alternative and subdivision evaluations.

Make septic permitting an early Tennessee feasibility gate—before grading or pad work—and flag parcels needing alternative systems or subdivision evaluation before committing capital.

Official Tennessee environmental permitting source

https://www.tn.gov/environment/permits/water/septic-systems-permits/ssp/permit-water-septic-system-construction-permit.html

Land/Home; Scrape & Replace; Vacant Land

Official state guidance says to obtain septic approval before beginning dirt work or construction, including the building pad.

Previous TDEC publisher link returned 404 on Aug. 30, 2026 and was replaced with the current Septic System Construction Permit page. Current TDEC guidance says a permit is required for a new septic system or repair of a faulty one; the application captures lot size, bedroom count, house site, well/spring, planned driveway and utilities, and may require soil-scientist maps or engineer design. TDEC also states septic installers must hold a valid statewide permit; Hamilton and other contract counties may require additional local permitting. For Scrape & Replace, use Certificate of Verification / Inspection Letter workflows already noted before assuming existing-system reuse value.

Georgia Department of Revenue

Scrape & Replace; Manufactured Homes; Demolition; Title Cancellation; Certificate of Destruction; Closing; Existing Site

Georgia has a specific post-destruction process for mobile/manufactured homes: Form T-230 is filed with the county tag office after destruction, with a filing fee, and the title record is cancelled as destroyed.

Add T-230 to the Georgia Scrape & Replace checklist. Demolition/removal is not only a site-work task; the old home's vehicle/title record must also be cleaned up so the parcel and replacement-home closing file are clear.

Official Georgia Department of Revenue form/process

https://dor.georgia.gov/t-230-mobile-manufactured-home-certificate-destruction

For Georgia destroyed homes, the current DOR motor-vehicle manual states Form T-230 is submitted to the county tag office; the county cancels the mobile/manufactured-home record as destroyed and forwards a copy to the Clerk of Superior Court. Current manual lists an $18 filing fee.

Alabama Manufactured Home Title Cancellation as Real Property

Alabama Department of Revenue

Land/Home; Scrape & Replace; Detitling; Real Property; Permanent Affixation; Title Cancellation; Financing; Closing

Alabama's official rule explains when a 2000-or-newer manufactured-home certificate of origin/title can be cancelled after the home is permanently affixed to land with identical home/land ownership.

Use this as the Alabama detitling/real-property exit checklist. Confirm ownership alignment and permanent-affixation requirements before assuming a replacement home can be converted cleanly to real property for mortgage resale.

Official Alabama Department of Revenue guidance and administrative rule

https://www.revenue.alabama.gov/faqs/how-do-you-cancel-a-manufactured-home-as-real-property/

Rockingham County Manufactured Home Process — Existing Septic Reconnection

Rockingham County, North Carolina Community Development

Scrape & Replace; Land/Home; Existing Infrastructure; Septic Reconnection; Well; Zoning; Setbacks; Permitting

A current county manufactured-home process explicitly distinguishes new septic/well work from sites with existing septic service and provides a separate septic-reconnection path before manufactured-home permitting.

This is a concrete Southeast example of the infrastructure-reuse advantage in Scrape & Replace. During acquisition, verify that an existing septic system can actually be approved for reconnection rather than simply assigning value because a tank/drain field is present.

Official county permitting guide; local example, not statewide NC rule

https://www.rockinghamcountync.gov/docview.aspx?docid=46742

A Chattanooga-adjacent county permit guide states which zoning districts allow manufactured homes, requires health-department approval to reuse an existing septic tank, and outlines installer and inspection requirements.

Highly relevant local due-diligence reference for North Georgia deals: screen zoning first, then verify existing septic approval before assigning value to an old homesite. Confirm current fees/rules with Whitfield County because the PDF itself is older.

Scrape & Replace; Land/Home; Existing Infrastructure; Existing Septic; Mobile Home Transport; Reinspection; Health Department

Washington County's 2025 development procedure explicitly says a new or used mobile home brought to an existing homesite requires reinspection and approval of the existing septic system by the Health Department.

Concrete Georgia evidence for the Scrape & Replace thesis: old septic can be valuable infrastructure, but it must be reinspected and approved for the replacement home rather than assumed reusable.

Current official county development procedure

https://www.washingtoncountyga.gov/DocumentCenter/View/376/DEVELOPMENT-PERMITS-AND-PROCEDURES

Scrape & Replace; Land/Home; Existing Septic; System Reuse; Bedroom Capacity; Site Plan; Manufactured Home Connection

Davidson County's current reuse instructions cover private lots and manufactured-home parks, requiring the existing septic record to support the replacement home's bedroom count and a site plan showing the system, repair area, water supplies and easements.

Use this as a strong due-diligence model for any old homesite: verify permitted bedroom capacity before selecting the replacement floor plan. A usable tank alone does not establish that a larger home can connect.

Walker County GA Manufactured Home Permitting — Replacement Exception & Existing Septic

Walker County, Georgia Planning & Zoning

Walker County, GA / Chattanooga area

Scrape & Replace; Land/Home; North Georgia; Replacement Manufactured Home; Existing Septic; R1; CBOD; Zoning; Permitting

Walker County's manufactured-home permitting guidance is unusually relevant to Scrape & Replace near Chattanooga: manufactured homes are generally not allowed in R1 or CBOD, but the county says they may be allowed there when an existing manufactured home is being removed and replaced with a newer or upgraded model. The same process requires verification or permitting of an existing septic system.

This is a direct North Georgia buy-box clue: parcels with an existing manufactured home can have replacement rights that vacant parcels in the same zoning district may not have. Verify the parcel's current zoning, prior lawful home status and septic approval before assigning replacement value.

Official Walker County planning/inspection guidance; highly local and directly applicable, but parcel-specific confirmation is still required

Scrape & Replace; Land/Home

Replacement manufactured home on an existing manufactured-home site

Walker County states manufactured homes are generally not allowed in R1 or CBOD, except where a manufactured home already exists and is being removed and replaced with a newer/upgraded model. Existing septic must be verified or otherwise permitted through Environmental Health. This is a county-specific rule and should be confirmed before acquisition.

Kershaw County SC — Replacement Mobile Homes & Existing Septic Procedures

Kershaw County, South Carolina

Scrape & Replace; Land/Home; Nonconforming Mobile Home; Replacement Manufactured Home; Existing Septic; Septic Capacity; Zoning

Kershaw County's zoning code directly addresses both replacement homes and old septic systems: a nonconforming mobile home that is removed may not be replaced by another mobile home, but may be replaced by a compliant manufactured home; replacement structures using an existing septic system must document or inspect that system and account for permitted capacity.

This is a strong Scrape & Replace precedent: the old home's legal/nonconforming status and the septic system's permitted flow both affect whether the replacement plan works. Underwrite the replacement home size and bedroom count against the documented septic capacity before acquisition.

Replacement manufactured home on former/nonconforming mobile-home site

County code says a removed nonconforming mobile home may be replaced by a manufactured home that complies with current requirements. For an existing septic system, the owner must provide an approved permit or pursue the county's certification/inspection path; if proposed sewage flow exceeds permitted capacity, system modification is required.

Augusta-Richmond County GA — Existing Septic Inspection for Manufactured Homes

Augusta-Richmond County, Georgia

Scrape & Replace; Land/Home; Existing Septic; Septic Inspection; Bedroom Count; Bathroom Count; Manufactured Home Permit; Infrastructure Reuse

Augusta-Richmond County explicitly requires Health Department inspection even when a septic tank already exists on a manufactured-home property, including review of whether the existing system is suitable for the proposed home's bedroom and bathroom count.

Use this as another concrete Georgia warning against valuing an old homesite's septic at face value. Match the proposed replacement floor plan to the existing system's approved capacity and condition before treating septic reuse as a cost savings.

Hamilton County TN — Single-Wide Special Permit & Manufactured Home Setup

Hamilton County, Tennessee Planning / Building Inspection

Hamilton County, TN / Chattanooga area

Land/Home; Scrape & Replace; Single-Wide Manufactured Home; Special Permit; Zoning; Setup; Permitting; Chattanooga

Hamilton County's current zoning regulations say single-wide manufactured homes are permitted in districts where detached single-family dwellings are permitted only through a Planning Commission Special Permit. The county Building Inspection page also publishes dedicated Manufactured Home Setup Guidelines.

For Hamilton County acquisitions, do not treat single-wide eligibility as automatic just because a detached house is allowed. Build the Planning Commission special-permit timeline and appeal period into diligence, and use the county setup guidelines before committing to a home/site plan.

Official Hamilton County zoning and building-inspection sources; directly local and highly relevant. Parcel-specific zoning and jurisdiction still require confirmation.

Marion County's revised 2026 procedure requires a mobile-home placement pre-installation inspection before setup, marked home corners, survey-marked property corners for parcels under five acres, a posted 911 address, and compliance with county lot-size and setback rules.

Verify the proposed home footprint before delivery, budget survey/marking where required, and confirm lot size, setbacks and septic before buying. Setting first and curing later can force the home to be moved.

Catoosa County's mobile-home permit application explicitly asks whether the proposed home is replacing an existing mobile home and routes the project through 911 addressing, stormwater, zoning, environmental, sewer and tax approvals before permit issuance.

This is directly useful for North Georgia Scrape & Replace. Flag replacement sites separately in the buy box and assume a coordinated multi-department approval path before delivery; existing-home status does not eliminate zoning/environmental review.

McMinn County's official mobile-home regulations state that individual mobile homes on their own lots are not regulated as parks, but must meet the same standards as conventional residences and comply with county subdivision rules. County planning resources also route existing-septic questions through Tennessee's septic system process.

This is a core local buy-box reference for McMinn County: treat individual manufactured-home sites as conventional residential lots for subdivision/site standards, then verify septic, access, floodplain and utilities before pricing the parcel.

Murray County's current manufactured-home location procedure requires a health/safety inspection for used homes before permitting, prohibits moving pre-HUD homes into or within the county, requires site/zoning review and flood/driveway checks, and calls for poured concrete footers on newly developed lots plus masonry-type skirting on non-rental lots.

This is a high-value North Georgia feasibility checklist. The concrete-footer and masonry-skirt requirements belong in the setup budget, while the used-home inspection and HUD cutoff are immediate kill criteria for relocation deals.
