What happens to my property if the Zoning Classification is changed? - Moncks Corner - South Carolina

It is important to note that a zoning change cannot be used to take away a property owner’s right to continue to use their land or building for any legal, existing use. Therefore, if you operate a retail store and the zoning was changed to residential, you can continue to operate the store until you either voluntarily change or abandon the use. This situation is referred to as a Legally Established Non-Conforming Use.
