Most home businesses in unincorporated Horry County must get zoning compliance from Planning & Zoning before applying for a county business license. Home occupations may employ no more than two non-residents on site.
The Horry County Treasurer's Business License Department states that most businesses (commercial and home occupation) with a physical address in the unincorporated county must receive zoning compliance before applying for a business license. After zoning approval, the applicant submits the zoning compliance or home occupation form with the business license application and fees. Zoning is reviewed at 1301 2nd Ave, Room 1D09 (843-915-5340). Section 927 caps outside staff at two non-residents per business working in the home or detached structure. Cities issue their own licenses separately.
Operating without required zoning compliance or a business license can lead to denial, fines and enforcement by Horry County's Business License and Zoning departments.
