Questions

Who is the largest landowner in South Carolina?

On county property records, WEYERHAEUSER FOREST HOLDINGS INC A DELAWARE CORPORATION holds the most land in South Carolina: 212,059 acres across 103 parcels.

How much land do the largest landowners in South Carolina hold?

The 50 institutions on this list hold 1,481,587 acres between them. 7 of them are public bodies, such as the state, cities and agencies.

Why are no individuals on this list?

Deedlines ranks companies, trusts held by companies and government agencies only. A public ranking of private people by the land they own would be a list of where they live, so individuals are never ranked.

Where do these numbers come from?

From the assessor files of 46 South Carolina counties, the same records behind each county's tax roll. Acreage is what the assessor records; a survey can differ, and a company filed under two spellings counts as two names.
