South Carolina Cities

Major cities across South Carolina may operate their own municipal courts alongside the county magistrate system. Municipal courts handle traffic violations, ordinance violations, and misdemeanor offenses within city limits. Traffic court records from city courts are part of the same statewide system and report to the SCDMV just like magistrate courts do.
