Your first week in the Midlands
The boxes can wait. The power, the water and the DMV can't. Get the checklist Kelley and I wish every new neighbor had on day one.
Free. No spam. Just the list and a couple of helpful local tips.
WHAT'S INSIDE
Everything you need to knock out in week one
Lights, water and gas. Who serves your address and what to ask about deposits.
Internet. How to find who actually serves your street before you book an install.
Trash pickup. Why it depends on your county and town limits, plus the numbers to call.
DMV and your car. The exact order to do things so you only wait in line once.
Pet care. Rabies tags, county licensing and the local bug situation.
Home and money. The 4% legal residence assessment ratio eligible homeowners can apply for through the county assessor.
Three first-week details to put on your calendar
45 days
Most new residents have 45 days after moving to apply for a South Carolina driver's license.
45 days
Out-of-state vehicles must be registered within 45 days of moving to South Carolina.
PAY FIRST
Pay your county vehicle property tax first. The DMV needs the paid receipt to register your car.
