Zoning and planning authority in South Carolina is scheduled to be authorized through the South Carolina Local Government Comprehensive Planning Enabling Act of 1994 §§ 6-29-310 through 6-29-1200, amended by Act No. 15 (1999). Current zoning and planning authority for county and city governments is delegated by S.C. CODE §§ 6-7-310 through 6-7-1110, 4-27-10 through 4-27-650, 5-23-10 through 5-23-740, and Act No. 129 of 1963. As of December 31, 1999 these laws are scheduled to be repealed and replaced by the South Carolina Local Government Comprehensive Planning Enabling Act of 1994. South Carolina's right-to-farm law, § 46-45-10, prohibits an agricultural operation from being deemed a nuisance because of changes in conditions (development for example) around that operation. Operations are not immune from nuisance suits when they are operated illegally or in a negligent or improper manner.
