What your city owns

Properties & facilities

City Hall

4101 Walnut Street, open Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. It houses city administration, the Code Enforcement / Planning & Zoning Division, and the Council Chambers where the city council meets and holds public hearings. The City Hall complex spans more than one parcel. Next door, reachable from inside, is an attached room on its own city-owned parcel that Horry County GIS records describe as 4107 Walnut Street.

Police & Fire headquarters

3909 Walnut Street is home to both the Loris Police Department and the Loris Fire Department. The fire department has protected the city since 1928 and, like the police department, answers to residents through the chief and administration housed at this address.

Recreation Department office & facilities

The Recreation Department, based at 311 Heritage Road, runs youth sports programs and oversees two public facilities: the Loris Sports Complex at Heniford Field (311 Heritage Road) and Watson Park (3416 Cedar Street), which includes a Community Room available to rent.

Public works

The city's Sanitation and Street Departments operate out of public works facilities that store the trucks and equipment used for yard-debris collection, street repair, and drainage work. Day-to-day requests for both are routed through City Hall at (843) 756-4004.

City-owned property, from county records

City-owned parcels, sourced from Horry County GIS. Assessed values are the county's tax assessments, not market prices. As of March 2026, the county requires a free county account to view these records on its site. Only parcels a person has reviewed are listed below.

Major equipment

Fire apparatus

The Loris Fire Department's fleet includes three engines, a ladder tower, a rescue/squad unit, a tanker, two brush trucks, and a highwater/flood boat for water rescues. The department also maintains one antique engine, kept as part of its history.

Police vehicles

The Loris Police Department maintains a patrol fleet for routine patrol, non-emergency response, and dispatch coverage across the city. Vehicle counts and specifications aren't published on the city's site; call police administration at (843) 756-4000 for current fleet details.

Sanitation trucks

Yard-debris collection inside the city limits is handled by city-operated trucks that make leaf-and-limb pickups Monday through Wednesday, by request. Household garbage collection itself is contracted out to Jordan Waste rather than run with city-owned trucks.

Street department equipment

The Street Department maintains heavy equipment for road repair, drainage work, and storm response on city streets. Specific equipment isn't itemized on the city's site; residents can report a road or drainage problem through the Street Department at (843) 756-4004.

Infrastructure

City streets

The Street Department maintains roads inside the city limits, though some roads that run through Loris, like Main Street, are actually SCDOT's responsibility and are resurfaced and repaired by the state, not the city. Current closures and paving work are tracked on this site's road-work list.

Stormwater system

Drainage and flooding issues on city streets are handled by the Street Department. Residents can report flooding, clogged drains, or ditch problems the same way they'd report a pothole, by calling (843) 756-4004.

Streetlights

Streetlight outages and other lighting issues inside the city limits are reported to the Street Department. This is a routine, ongoing maintenance responsibility rather than a one-time capital project.

Sidewalks

Sidewalk maintenance and repair inside the city limits falls to the Street Department alongside street and drainage upkeep. As with streets, some sidewalk segments along state-maintained roads may fall under SCDOT rather than the city.
