A town of its own inside Clarendon County, with its own council, its own records and its own meetings.
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.
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.
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.
Request letters, a fee worksheet, a response tracker and a denial log — built around how South Carolina bodies actually respond.
