What to do in South Carolina today

  • Call the recording office for your county (Register of Deeds in some counties and Clerk of Court in others (it varies by county)) and ask one question: “Do you offer a free recording notification or property fraud alert?” If yes, enroll on the spot and tell us — we will verify and list it.
  • Run the deed self-check — pull your record, read it, save a dated baseline, repeat on a schedule.
  • Guard the mailbox: confirm your tax-bill mailing address is yours, every year.

South Carolina questions, answered straight

Who keeps land records in South Carolina?

The Register of Deeds in some counties and the Clerk of Court in others (it varies by county). That office — not a title company and not any website — is the only authority on its own records and its own alert program.

Is the alert in South Carolina really free?

Yes. Every service in the table above is a government program offered at no charge by the recording office or its chosen platform. If a page ever asks you to pay to enroll in a county alert, you are on the wrong page — come back to the official link here.

Does enrolling mean DeedWatch monitors my deed?

No. DeedWatch is a directory and a guide. You enroll with the South Carolina office or its platform directly, and that program — not us — sends the alerts. We never see your recordings.

What if my South Carolina county has no alert?

Use the deed self-check routine: pull your own record on a set schedule, keep your tax mailing address current, and know the first steps if a filing ever surprises you. The Setup Kit writes the whole routine out, county by county.
