Town · Clarendon County, South Carolina

Paxville

The smallest of Clarendon County's four municipalities — and still a separate public body that answers for its own records.

Section 02

Council meetings

WhenSecond Tuesday of the month

Meeting dates and times change, especially around holidays. Check the town's own calendar before you travel. If you plan to speak, ask the clerk in advance how public comment is handled — rules differ between bodies and are not always written on the agenda.

Section 03

What the Town holds — and what it doesn't

Ask the Town for

  • Council agendas, agenda packets and minutes
  • Town ordinances and resolutions
  • Town budgets, spending and purchase records
  • Contracts the Town is a party to
  • Town business licences and permits
  • Correspondence held by Town officials and staff

Ask someone else for

  • Deeds, plats and property tax — Clarendon County
  • Court filings — Clerk of Court, at the County
  • School records and board minutes — the school district
  • Disability and special needs services — the DSN board
  • State agency records — the agency itself
A municipality and its county are separate public bodies. Sending a records request to the wrong one is the single most common reason a request here goes unanswered — and the response clock generally doesn't start until the right body has it.
Section 04

Before you file

Read the free guide first

It covers the seven things that keep a request from stalling — asking for documents rather than explanations, giving a date range, naming where you think records sit, and asking for a fee estimate before any work starts.
