Keeping Your Parking Lot Compliant in Columbia and Surrounding SC Counties

Your parking lot might not be the first thing you think about when running a business—but it’s one of the first things customers, inspectors, and new tenants notice. A well-marked, compliant parking lot shows that you care about accessibility, safety, and professionalism.

Why compliance matters

In South Carolina, ADA regulations and local codes (Richland County, Lexington County, Kershaw County) require clearly marked accessible spaces, correct slopes, and visible fire lanes. If striping has faded or handicap signs are missing, it can mean costly citations—or worse, unsafe conditions.

Quick self-check for your property

• Are handicap spots bright blue with clear signage?

• Are directional arrows, stop bars, and “no parking” zones easy to see?

• Is your fire-lane paint visible and readable?

• Any trip hazards or drainage issues from cracks or potholes?

If you answered “not sure” to any of those, it’s time for a quick inspection.
