Know the limits
This page lists verified public Elevation Certificate (EC) portals we have indexed for South Carolina. It is not a national address→EC database. We do not invent whether a certificate is on file for a property, and we do not invent FEMA CRS classes or discount percentages. For CRS participation, use FEMA’s official eligible-communities materials.
National index snapshot: 120 portals across 17 states. This page covers South Carolina only.
From search to next step
Indexed sources
Primary action for each entry is the official portal. Community pages below link to dedicated Elevation Certificate landing pages for each indexed source.
Open MAPNET, search by address or tax map (TMS). If a matching Elevation Certificate is in city records, a download link appears in Property Information. You can also enable the Elevation Certificates layer under Additional Layers. Coverage is City of Charleston jurisdiction only.

Open the Georgetown County Elevation Certificates table on Forerunner. Use Filter to search by street address or parcel ID, then open a listed certificate to view or download it. You can also search the address on the portal home page and open the property's Files tab. If nothing is listed, that only means no EC is posted online. Older or paper ECs may not be uploaded, so ask the local floodplain office.
Community page: /elevation-certificates/south-carolina/georgetown-county/
Open the City of Georgetown public EC list and search by street address or parcel identifier. Inspect the files actually offered for a matching property. Ask City Planning & Community Development if a record is missing. An unlisted address does not establish that no certificate exists; ask the local floodplain office.

Open the Town of Hilton Head Island Flood Elevation Certificates page. For ECs from 1984-2008 use the linked Power Apps search; for 2008 to today use the linked EnerGov self-service permit search; or submit the linked records request. Town limits only; unincorporated Beaufort County uses the county request form.

Open Horry County's Elevation Certificates archive. It is organized by year and labeled by building permit number, not address, so you need the permit number (from your closing papers or the county permit search) to find the right PDF. Unincorporated county only as published; cities such as Myrtle Beach or North Myrtle Beach keep their own.

When no public portal matches
These contacts are for communities without a public EC search we have indexed, or as a supplemental path. Always verify on the official page.
Request path, not a search portal. Municipalities (City of Beaufort, Hilton Head Island, Bluffton, Port Royal) keep their own.
Beaufort County EC request page directs City of Beaufort parcels (IDs R120–R123) to Martie Kay McTeer for ECs not online; phone 843-379-7051 on same page. City 'Flood Certificates' page (cityofbeaufort.org/290) was unreliable when checked 2026-11-06 — not shipped as a portal.
County EC request page: Bluffton parcels (R610–R614, built after 2009) use the Town FOIA request form; this number is for FOIA procedure questions.
County EC request page: Port Royal parcels (R110–R113) request ECs/building records from Noah Krepps; phone 843-986-2207 on same page.
