South Carolina H4702 authorizes counties to require property owners to maintain cleanliness and remove nuisances.

South Carolina H4702 amends the state code to allow counties to mandate property owners to keep their lots or properties clean and free of rubbish, debris, and other conditions that constitute a public nuisance. Counties can issue ordinances for this purpose, notify property owners of conditions needing correction, and require them to take corrective action. The county may also authorize employees or hired personnel to enter the property to correct these conditions. The cost of such corrections can become a lien on the real estate and must not exceed the actual costs to the county.
