Software Upgrades for the Assessor's Office
The Horry County IT/GIS Department, in partnership with our outside provider, will be making upgrades to the County's computer assisted mass appraisal software. Among other functions, this program is the County's automated system for maintaining property data.
The upgrades began on August 1, 2022 and for the next 30 to 45 business days, users could experience delays on our GIS and Land Records applications, particularly with regard to ownership information. The Assessor's Office will have access to the updated information, but there could be a lag in the information syncing with the public facing programs.
The majority of our community will not notice any difference while these updates are being made. Our offices are working closely with customers that frequently access this information, such as real estate appraisers and closing attorneys, to provide them with assistance while these upgrades are underway.
As with any such process, we are prepared for the possibility for additional testing and system adjustments and ask for your patience. If you have questions about a property in our system, email landrecords@horrycounty.org.

Upcoming Road Closures & Construction Updates
Motorists in all road construction areas should use caution, stay alert for crews working in the area, and pay attention to all signs and traffic control devices.
Upcoming Road Closures & Detours: Postal Way Extension
Weather permitting, intermittent road closures and detours are expected to continue at the intersection of Renee Drive and Carolina Commercial Drive. These closures will allow crews to install the required drainage structures and realign the intersection. We urge drivers in the area to slow down, pay attention to all road signs, and drive cautiously to keep our crews safe.
These closures will continue through the remainder of the Postal Way Extension road construction project. The project is a part of the RIDE III Program US Highway 501 Corridor Improvements. The project includes the extension of Postal Way easterly to Waccamaw Pines Drive with the installation of intersection improvements and sidewalks.
Visit our website to learn more about the RIDE III program. For status updates on all of our current RIDE III projects, check out the online dashboard.
Partial Road Closure on Industrial Park Road
A portion of Industrial Park Road in Conway, between Harris Shortcut Road and the curved section of Industrial Park Road in front of the Horry County Animal Care Center, will be closed to all traffic except construction traffic.

Horry County will conduct truck-mounted mosquito spraying in the Little River area along Highway 90 between SC-31 and SC-9 starting July 28th through the 29th from 4 to 6 A.M.
The chemicals used for mosquito control spraying are approved by the EPA and pose minimal risk to humans or animals. Individuals with asthma or other respiratory illness may wish to stay indoors and close windows and doors during spraying. In addition, homegrown fruits and vegetables should be washed, scrubbed, and/or peeled before eating.
To help keep our honeybee population safe, beekeepers are urged to contact Horry County Stormwater to identify the location of their colonies. You can submit the location of your hive online here.
In addition, citizens who need to request spraying in the unincorporated areas of Horry County (outside city limits) can contact the Horry County Road & Drainage Hotline at 843-381-8000 or by the online form found on our website.
