Did you know... That owners and occupants of property in Myrtle Beach are responsible for maintaining the adjacent public right-of-way, too? Section 17-4 in the City Code addresses maintenance of property. Specifically, it says owners and occupants “shall maintain their property in a clean and litter-free manner.” It further states that they also are responsible for the adjacent sidewalk, grass strip, curb-and-gutter and right-of-way up to the edge of the street. This includes keeping the grass at a height of less than 12 inches, again, up to the pavement’s edge. The goal is to maintain both the private yard and the adjacent public land in such a way that it preserves property values, prevents blight and enhances the quality of life for all citizens.
