A condominium is defined as a unit in a series or in a multiunit type structure which may be owned or leased by an individual, firm, or corporation who may have a common use of all related activities and/or facilities associated with the structure.

Condominium refers to the ownership technique described in the Code of Laws of South Carolina as the Horizontal Property Act of 1967, S.C. Code 1976, §§ 22-31-10—27-31-300. Condominium ownership may be used on any style of construction, but shall be developed under the requirements and provisions of the Horizontal Property Act. Prior to approval of any condominium project, the legal declaration establishing the ownership association shall be submitted to the planning commission for approval by the city attorney as to form and legal sufficiency, as provided for in the Horizontal Property Act, and the declarations shall require the association to provide exterior building maintenance services and architectural control.

Dwelling units constructed or redeveloped as condominium units shall be governed by the design and density requirements of the zoning district in which they are located.
