About Property Pulse

About Horry County Property Pulse data sources and methodology

Horry County Property Pulse organizes local public-record real-estate and property activity so residents, journalists, agents, builders, researchers, and neighbors can explore what sold, who bought and sold property, what is being permitted, and where land-use activity is changing.

Independent

Property Pulse is independently built and is not Horry County government or an official county website.

Not an MLS

Property Pulse is not an MLS listing service and does not show all homes currently for sale.

Public records update

Different public sources update on different schedules, and records can be delayed, corrected, incomplete, or interpreted differently by official systems.

Methodology

How records are organized

Records are normalized into public previews, linked by parcel identifiers, addresses, map coordinates, sale/deed details, permit numbers, and planning records where those connections can be made responsibly.

Public data refreshes are designed to run regularly, often nightly, but source availability and official update schedules can vary. Property Pulse filters or labels records when confidence, mapping, or source freshness requires caution.

Location pages group records by the city or postal location shown in source data. Those groupings may not exactly match municipal boundaries.

Important legal, financial, real-estate, permitting, ownership, and planning decisions should be verified with official county and source records.
