Spartanburg County has no specific ordinance banning the feeding of deer, coyotes, or other wildlife. Wildlife is regulated by the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources, and state rules restrict practices such as baiting; feeding that creates a nuisance can still draw county action.
There is no Spartanburg County ordinance that broadly prohibits feeding wildlife on private property. Wild animals in the county fall under the jurisdiction of the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources, which sets baiting and feeding rules tied to hunting seasons and public safety rather than a county residential ban. Deliberately feeding wildlife can attract nuisance animals, spread disease, and habituate coyotes or raccoons; when it creates unsanitary conditions or a nuisance, the county may respond under general nuisance and property-maintenance authority. Residents concerned about problem wildlife should contact SC DNR, which handles depredation and relocation permits.
No dedicated county feeding penalty exists; state wildlife-feeding and baiting violations are enforced by SC DNR, and nuisance conditions may be cited under county property-maintenance rules.
