South Carolina HOA services — questions, answered

Which statute governs HOAs in South Carolina?+
South Carolina Homeowners Association Act, S.C. Code § 27-30-110 et seq.. Requires recording of governing documents and sets disclosure and education requirements. Condominiums are covered separately by South Carolina Horizontal Property Act, S.C. Code § 27-31-10 et seq.. Your own declaration and bylaws sit on top of it and may be stricter.
Does South Carolina set reserve or competitive-bidding requirements?+
Read South Carolina Homeowners Association Act, S.C. Code § 27-30-110 et seq. alongside your declaration, bylaws, and any lender or insurer requirements — each of those can impose reserve funding or competitive bidding on your association, and statutes change. Confirm what applies to South Carolina communities, and to yours specifically, with counsel.
Who licenses the contractors an association hires in South Carolina?+
South Carolina Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation — contractor licensing boards for commercial and residential work. Every vendor’s insurance and trade credentials are collected, verified, and stored with their expiry dates, and held to a stated renewal window — 30 days for insurance, none for a competency certification. Once that window closes, the vendor cannot bid for or be awarded new work until it is current again.
Who regulates community pools in South Carolina?+
South Carolina Department of Environmental Services — public swimming pool permitting, operation, and inspection. That is why pool scope on HOAcrew includes water-quality records and operator credentials, not just cleaning visits.
Is HOAcrew available here?+
Available to communities nationwide. Bring your own vendors anywhere; our vetted network is growing market by market.
Do you have vendors near me?+
Two ways it works. Invite the vendors you already use — they get credentialed and onboarded here, anywhere in the US. And where our vetted network has reached, additional vetted vendors can submit proposals too. Our network is growing market by market, so bringing your own vendor is always the fastest path.
