Orangeburg County, SC Home Business: Home Daycare (2026)

Orangeburg County's Zoning Ordinance (Appendix A) treats a family day care home as an accessory use to a residential use, not a stand-alone business needing conditional-use review. 3, Table 1 lists 'Family Day Care Home' with a 'P' (permitted) designation in the RS, RG, RO, CN, CG, FA and RC districts, and 'NA' (not applicable) in the BI industrial district, meaning the use simply is not contemplated there. ' That six-child cap, and the requirement that only a family member (not hired staff) provide the care, are the operative limits; exceed either and the use falls outside the definition and outside the 'permitted' designation in Table 1.

16, which Table 1 marks 'C' (conditionally permitted, requiring Planning Commission or Zoning Administrator review) in RS, RG, RO, CN, FA and RC, and 'P' only in CG. 1 definition would be evaluated as a home occupation instead, triggering that conditional-use process rather than sailing through as a by-right accessory use.
