What Myrtle Beach records show

In South Carolina, deeds, mortgages and the satisfactions and releases of them are recorded with the county Register of Deeds. An unrecorded deed or mortgage is not valid against later creditors or purchasers for value without notice; the instrument counts only from the day and hour it is recorded (S.C. Code § 30-7-10).

A South Carolina mortgagee that has been paid in full must enter satisfaction of the mortgage within three months after the mortgagor or another interested person asks in writing by certified mail or another method with proof of delivery (S.C. Code § 29-3-310), so a mortgage with no recorded satisfaction is still of record.

The Horry County Register of Deeds links each mortgage to the satisfaction recorded for it by book and page.

A judgment is a lien on a debtor's real estate in a county only once it is entered on that county's book of abstracts of judgments, and lasts ten years from the date of the judgment (S.C. Code § 15-35-810).
