South Carolina Courts: Online Community Service

How Community Service Works in South Carolina Courts

Under South Carolina Code § 24-21-440, courts may impose community service as a condition of probation.

South Carolina has 46 counties, and community service is ordered by its circuit courts and magistrate courts. The court that hears your case sets how many hours you need, the deadline and how you prove completion.

• Population: 5.37 million (U.S. Census Bureau, 2023)
