Homes & buildings
What shapes a project in Myrtle Beach
Local conditions worth knowing before scope and budget are set.
Condos, townhomes and newer homes
Census estimates for 2020-2024 count about 24,400 housing units in Myrtle Beach. About 48 percent are in buildings with two or more units, including about 21 percent in buildings with 20 or more, and about 38 percent are single-family detached. About 43 percent were built in 2000 or later, and about 5 percent are mobile homes.
Flood elevation rules
The city requires new homes in the regulatory floodplain to be elevated at least three feet above the base flood elevation. Outside the special flood hazard area, a new building's finished floor must be at least 18 inches above the highest crown of an abutting street or 24 inches above the lot's average grade. Development in the floodplain needs an elevation certificate before, during and after construction.
Limits on improving older flood-zone buildings
Older buildings in the floodplain that do not meet current rules may only be improved by less than 50 percent of the building's value. A building with damage of 50 percent or more must be removed or brought fully into compliance. Horry County is classed as hot-humid, so moisture control matters as well.
