    Civility. Respect. Solutions.

    In 2021, our board of directors decided to make restoring civility an ongoing top priority for the organization. Since then, we have been working to offer our elected officials the resources, workshops and other tools that will help them listen, learn and de-escalate heated situations. We want our cities and towns to exemplify good governance and civil behavior.

What's New

​The Association recognizes and encourages innovations and excellence in local government through its Achievement Awards. Each spring, the Municipal Association accepts award entries from member municipalities. Winners will be honored at the Association's Annual Meeting.
The Senate and House met in regular session this week. House members debated and approved an expansion of school vouchers, while Senators debated legislation on the calendar.The deadline for bills to pass out of the originating body, or the crossover deadline, is Wednesday, April 10. This is the second year of a two-year session, so any bills that do not pass are dead and must be reintroduced for the 2025 – 2026 session.
​The Association developed a statewide online portal for business license renewals. The online portal is for renewals only. New business licenses will still be issued by the city or town. State law requires this system to be hosted by the SC Revenue and Fiscal Affairs Office. To use this free software, municipalities must adopt the standard business license practices.
