Spartanburg County, SC Property Maintenance: Property Blight (2026)

Spartanburg County Environmental Enforcement enforces the International Property Maintenance Code (adopted by the county) and county ordinances covering litter control and property maintenance in the unincorporated county; incorporated cities like Spartanburg run their own programs. The county defines a derelict vehicle as a motor vehicle that is partially dismantled, wrecked, or incapable of self-propulsion, or one without a current license on which property tax is unpaid. Such vehicles must be brought up to code or placed in storage, defined as a three-sided structure; a car cover or tarp does not satisfy the rule. Complaints about overgrown or blighted property and derelict vehicles are handled through the county's Report a Property Maintenance Issue form.
