Important Laws, Ordinances, & Regulations
Surfside Beach Golf Cart Ordinance
The Town passed an ordinance into law that regulates the operation of golf carts in the Town limits. This ordinance mirrors the allowances and prohibitions of the State law and only adds penalties, which are currently absent in the State code. The Police Department has developed an informational flyer (PDF) we hope will be helpful and answer questions about the new ordinance and current State law.
