§ 13.16.030. Wind zone requirements.  


Latest version.
  • A.

    Colleton County is in a wind zone 2 area. Federal law defines wind zone 2 as all areas within the counties of Beaufort, Berkeley, Charleston, Colleton, Dorchester, Georgetown, Horry, Jasper, and Williamsburg. All other counties fall within wind zone 1. All manufactured homes must be labeled to meet the minimum wind speed for the zone in which they are to be placed. Consequently, only homes built to wind zone 2 specifications, and labeled as wind zone 2 units, may be placed in Colleton County. The wind zone requirements are provisions of federal law, and no exceptions or variances are permitted; therefore, only wind zone 2 or 3 homes will be permitted to move within unincorporated Colleton County.

    B.

    Wind zone 1 homes currently located and properly registered within the unincorporated areas of Colleton County as of October 3, 2000, may continue to be occupied and used in the unincorporated areas of Colleton County.
