Bluffton State of Mind
Our community thrives when we all follow these guidelines that protect our natural beauty and respect our neighbors.
Quiet Nights
Help everyone rest easy by keeping noise down between 10 p. m. and 7 a. m. Save the lawn mowing, construction work and outdoor gatherings for daylight hours.
Clean Waters Start at Home
Never place yard debris near ditches or storm drains. Proper disposal prevents flooding and protects our waterways.
Trash Tip
Town residents receive Waste Management service as part of Town services. If your neighbor pays for a separate bill for trash / recycling collection, that is an indicator that the property is outside of Town limits.
Waste Management( WM) has a regional office that handles trash and recycling for Bluffton residents. If you need a new cart, you have two easy options: Use the SeeClickFix app on your phone or Town website Contact the WM regional representative directly at( 843) 557-7777 or email mmille17 @ wm. com
Property Projects
Before posting signs, removing trees, or making exterior changes( especially in the Historic District), check with Town Hall. Most projects require permits to ensure they align with Bluffton’ s local ordinances.
Rental Responsibilities
All rental properties must be registered with the Town, whether they ' re short-term vacation stays or longterm homes.
Safe Cart Travel
Golf carts need proper SCDMV registration, licensed drivers( 16 +) and should only operate within 4 miles of home. Seat belts are required for any passenger under 12 years old.
Business in Bluffton
Running any business that physically operates in Bluffton— even from home— requires a town business license.
DID YOU KNOW?
Lagoons work hard for us! They are not just neighborhood décor. They are a part of the regional stormwater system that captures rainwater, prevents flooding, and filters pollutants before water reaches our rivers. Even the fountains serve a purpose by improving water quality.
