How to Obtain an Horry County, SC Business License

Horry County Treasurer publishes business license tax administration for unincorporated areas and related compliance contacts so Grand Strand businesses outside city limits file county business licenses.

If you are transacting business in Horry County, SC, you may be subject to city-level and county-level licensing requirements beyond the baseline state requirements. Local governments independently establish their own licensing scopes, fee schedules, exemptions, and compliance deadlines.

Failure to register at the local level can result in significant financial penalties, retroactive tax assessments, and the suspension of your legal right to conduct business operations within municipal boundaries.
