Woodlake Village

Murrells Inlet, South Carolina

Our current HOA board members are a bunch of slackers.

Our current HOA board members are a bunch of slackers. They don’t endorse our rules or even know the rules about the homeowners responsibility to keep their homes and lawns maintained. The management company is just as slack as the board. Basically they don’t enforce rules, because they don’t want conflict.

FAQ

South Carolina HOA Questions

Q1:What law governs South Carolina HOAs?

South Carolina HOAs are governed by the South Carolina Homeowners Association Act (S.C. Code § 27-30-10 et seq.) for planned communities and the South Carolina Horizontal Property Act (S.C. Code § 27-31-10 et seq.) for condominiums.

Q2:Can a South Carolina HOA restrict political signs?

South Carolina law does not broadly prohibit HOAs from restricting political signs, meaning your HOA's CC&Rs may limit or ban them. Homeowners should review their governing documents, as rules on size, placement, and duration vary by association.

Q3:Are South Carolina HOA meetings required to be open to members?

Yes. Under the South Carolina Homeowners Association Act, members have the right to attend board meetings. HOAs must provide reasonable notice of meetings, and members may request access to meeting minutes and financial records.

Q4:Can a South Carolina HOA foreclose on a home for unpaid dues?

Yes. South Carolina HOAs have the authority to place a lien on a property for unpaid assessments and can pursue foreclosure to collect delinquent dues. Homeowners facing this situation should consult an attorney, as specific procedures and timelines must be followed.
