Every year, the Municipal Association of SC asks every South Carolina city and town to review, verify and update its individual information that appears in the municipal directory found on the Association’s website.
The designated official from each municipality may update their information using the Municipal Information Dashboard found by logging into the Municipal Association's website. The deadline for updates is Thursday, November 19.
Maintaining current information, both during this annual effort and throughout the rest of the year, helps the Association keep all of the state’s municipalities informed of many key current events:
- Legislative activity in the General Assembly that can affect local government operations
- Professional development opportunities at meetings and conferences, such as Hometown Legislative Action Day at the beginning of the legislative session, as well as the Municipal Association of SC Annual Meeting and the Small Cities Summit, taking place during the summer
- Training opportunities through the Association’s affiliate groups and through Risk Management Services
The online Municipal Online Directory, provides details and contact information for all 271 of the state’s municipalities. It lists the form of government used in each, the regular schedule of city or town council meetings, and the names of all elected officials and key staff positions.
Users of the directory can search for municipalities by county, by population or by which state representatives and state senators serve it.
To help keep the information in the directory accurate, the Association allows only one person from each municipality to handle the annual update, either the municipal clerk or the clerk’s designee. For assistance, or to designate a new person responsible for the update, email mail@masc.sc or call 803.933.1297.
