Pageland, SC Accessory Structures: ADU Rules (2026)

Sec. 4-7(A)(8) of the Town of Pageland Zoning Ordinance treats accessory apartments as a customary accessory use to dwellings, available only where permitted as a conditional use, and lists eight conditions lettered (a) through (h). The principal structure must be owner-occupied, and the apartment, whether attached or detached, cannot exceed 50 percent of the principal dwelling's gross floor area or contain more than two bedrooms. It must be a complete living space with its own kitchen and bathroom facilities separated from the principal unit, and it can only be accessory to a single-family dwelling, with no more than one apartment allowed per dwelling lot.

The lot itself must be at least 50 percent larger than the minimum lot size required for the zoning district, and the apartment must meet all yard setback requirements; if detached from the principal dwelling, it must sit at least 20 feet from that dwelling. A third off-street parking space is required beyond what the principal home needs, and neither the primary residence nor the accessory apartment may be a manufactured home. Because accessory apartments are conditional uses, a property owner needs approval through the Town's conditional-use process administered by the Zoning Administrator before building or converting space into one, not just a building permit.
