Johnston County, NC · HUD manufactured homes
Paste an address. Know if the lot can take a manufactured home.
MH Land Check desk-screens zoning for HUD manufactured homes, septic/soil risk, and flood veto — before you drive out, make an offer, or wire earnest money.
Yes
Maybe
No
Free teaser verdict. Full evidence PDF is $19 per parcel. You do not need to be on-site — this is remote desk research from public GIS, soil, and flood data.
How it works
Three steps. No site visit required from you — we work from public county and federal data.
2
We desk-screen it
We overlay county zoning, USDA soil septic ratings, and FEMA flood layers, then apply our MH-allowed table for the district.

Get Yes / Maybe / No + PDF
Teaser verdict by email, then a $19 evidence PDF with sources, next offices to call, and a hard disclaimer.
Current coverage:
Johnston County, North Carolina only. More NC counties if this pilot pays for itself.
What we check
Built for the manufactured-home question — not a generic “can I build a stick house” score.
Zoning · HUD MH allowed?
District code from county GIS, matched to our maintained table: allowed / conditional use / banned, with ordinance links.
Septic & soil risk
USDA SSURGO septic absorption ratings, slope and water-table limits. Pre-filter only — not a perc test.
Flood veto
FEMA NFHL flood zone overlay. High-risk zones flag a hard stop or elevate-to-confirm path.
Next offices
Who to call at planning/zoning and environmental health, plus what written confirmation you still need before closing.
Pricing
Anchored under full buildability reports, above a bare septic score. Pay per parcel — no monthly lock-in for the pilot.

Important disclaimer
MH Land Check is a desk-research pre-screen using public GIS, USDA soil data, FEMA flood layers, and a manually maintained zoning table. It is:
- Not a building permit, zoning certificate, or septic permit
- Not a perc test, soil evaluation, survey, or engineering opinion
- Not legal advice, and not a substitute for county approval or an on-site inspection
Public data can be outdated or incomplete. Our rules table can be wrong. Before you buy, close, or place a home, get written confirmation from Johnston County Planning / Zoning, Environmental Health (septic), utilities, and a title/attorney review as needed. Use this report to decide what to ask — not as the final answer.
