Notice to Retail and Multi-lot Salespeople, and Retail Dealers: Be aware that retail and multi-lot salespeople will not be permitted to renew their licenses until the retail dealer with which they are employed has renewed its license.
Prior to renewing your license online, you must submit the following supplemental documentation required for the 2026-2028 license renewal. Failure to submit the required documentation, in addition to the online or paper renewal application and fee, will result in your license not being renewed.
Please use this link to submit the following supplemental documentation required to renew your license for the 2026-2028 licensure cycle.
Criminal Background Check:
A current criminal background check is required for every state of residence since your initial licensure, if this is your first license renewal, or since your last license renewal.
For South Carolina criminal background reports contact SLED at www.sled.sc.gov or (803) 737-9000. Out-of-state applicants may submit a state-issued, statewide report or any report generated by an accredited agency on PBSA's website found by clicking here. All criminal background reports must not be older than thirty (30) days from the date of renewal application.
Surety Bond Continuation Certificate:
Prior to renewing your license online, you must submit a surety bond continuation certificate to the Board that reflects coverage for the full 2026-2028 licensure term, July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2028.
Licensees are required to maintain a surety bond on file with the Board that covers the extent of the current licensing period (through 6/30/even numbered year). Continuation certificates may be on the form as generated by the surety company. If you are submitting a new surety bond, you must provide the board's surety bond form to your bonding company. The original surety bond must be submitted with the surety's signature, principal's signature, a visible surety company seal, and the Power of Attorney document attached to the form. Docusign is not an acceptable form of signature.

Continuing Education
Prior to renewing your license online, you must submit proof of the continuing education (CE) hours you received from an approved provider. If you obtained hours from the Manufactured Housing Institute of South Carolina (MHISC), you may submit a printed record of your hours from their website here. You are responsible for ensuring that the appropriate license number(s) is reflected on the continuing education summary issued by the provider.
Licensees must obtain six (6) hours of Board approved continuing education (CE) between July 1, 2024 and June 30, 2026 in order to renew your license for the 2026-2028 licensure term. If this is your first license renewal and you have been licensed for less than twenty-four (24) months, the CE requirements are as follows:
- For licenses issued twelve (12) or less months before expiration, no hours are required.
- For licenses issued more than twelve (12) months before expiration, three (3) hours are required.
For licenses issued to entities, the owner, officer, legal partner who qualifies the license, or the designated authorized official may complete the required continuing education hours on behalf of the entity. For retail dealer licensees, if a retail or multi-lot salesperson designated as the dealer's authorized official completes the CE for both the salesperson and retail dealer licenses, both license numbers must be reflected on the continuing education summary from the provider before it will be accepted.
Prior to renewing your license online, you must submit the required supplemental documentation to the Board for review and acceptance. Please see the Document Submission tab above for details, to include acceptance criteria for each piece of required documentation.
You may upload the documents to Document Submission using your renewal login credentials. Please allow 10 business days for processing before attempting your online renewal.
To access the online renewal software, you must have a valid email address on file with the Board. If you do not currently have an email address on file with the Board, or you need to change your email address, please contact the Board at contact.mh@llr.sc.gov with your name, license number, last five digits of your SSN (for individuals) or FEIN (for entities), and the requested change.
All licenses must be renewed separately by license number; however, the online renewal application process features a proxy payment link. This will enable the permitted employee or licensee to email a link to a third party (such as their employer) for payment. For privacy and security purposes, the third party will only have access to information such as name, license type and number and payment amount. The licensee is responsible for following up with the proxy to ensure payment is made timely for their renewal.

Fees submitted as a check or money order should be made payable to the SC Manufactured Housing Board and are non-refundable. Licensees who complete the online renewal application may pay the renewal fee using a card, and a proxy payment link will also be available if an employer or other entity elects to pay the renewal fee on a licensee's behalf. A returned check fee of up to $30, or an amount specified by law, may be assessed on all returned funds. CASH IS NOT ACCEPTED.
