As a result, a number of you will receive in the mail a corrected 3rd quarter statement within the next few days. Payment of this corrected balance will be due on August 31, 2019.

The 4th quarter assessment billing will be mailed around September 15.

We apologize for and regret any inconvenience this problem may have caused for you. Please call the office if you receive a corrected invoice and have any questions.

Sec. 66-43. – Residential containers, storage and requirements.

No containers other than authorized residential containers shall be used to store garbage or refuse, except for yard waste bags or other containers for purposes of collecting yard waste, for public collection within the town.

a. Materials are not to be placed on an adjoining lot whether vacant or otherwise.

b. Leaves, pine straw, pampas and grass clippings, small shrubbery clippings, etc., must be placed in yard waste bags or other containers. Such loose material placed at the curb, not in a yard waste bag or other container, will not be collected.

c. Brush, limbs, and shrubbery trimmings that are not containerized must be neatly stacked and bundled together in a consistent manner and bound by string or twine. Each bundle shall:

Third Quarter Master POA Statements

Posted 7/3/19: The third quarter Ocean Ridge Master POA statements will be mailed out later this week. Southern Community Services and its new business partner, CAMS, are in the process of changing computer information systems which has caused a slight delay in the billing process. Because of this delay, the due date for paying the 3rd quarter assessment has been moved from July 15 to July 31. Please contact the Southern Community Services office (843) 869-4300 if you have any questions concerning your statement.
