Be it enacted by the 
General Assembly of the State of South Carolina:

SECTION 1. Article 1, Chapter 9, Title 4 of the S.C. Code is 
amended by adding:

 Section 
4-9-197. (A) Any county is authorized 
to provide by ordinance that the owner of any lot or property in the county 
shall keep such lot or property clean and free of rubbish, debris, and other 
unhealthy and unsightly material or conditions which constitute a public 
nuisance.

 (B) The 
county may provide by ordinance for notification to the owner of conditions 
needing correction, may require that the owner take such action as is necessary 
to correct the conditions, may provide the terms and conditions under which 
employees of the county or any person employed for that purpose may go upon the 
property to correct the conditions, and may provide that the cost of such shall 
become a lien upon the real estate and shall be collectable in the same manner 
as county taxes, except the provisions of Chapter 51, Title 12 or any other 
provision of law authorizing a forced sale. The cost of correcting the 
conditions may not exceed the actual costs to the county.

by the Governor.
