Cayce, SC: the basics
Cayce sits in Richland County, South Carolina, so its parcels are on the county's map. If you're looking near Eastover, the municipality handles things like zoning, permits and utilities within town limits, but the county runs assessment and recording. Acreage past the city limits toward Arcadia Lakes generally answers to county rules rather than the town's.
Who the record really names
For an LLC on a parcel near Irmo, look it up in the state's business registry. An estate listed as owner near Forest Acres usually means title hasn't passed yet after a death, so the personal representative is the contact.
Land on the county line
Richland County borders Calhoun County, Fairfield County, Kershaw County, Lexington County, and Newberry County, all with their own assessor records. Ground near Blythewood that runs to the line may show up in two county records, so check the adjacent map too.

Proof of ownership
Bring the document number shown for the parcel near Irmo to find the deed quickly; hire a title company before money changes hands.
Writing to an owner

Sections, lots and bearings

Town lots near Arcadia Lakes refer to a recorded plat, making them easier to find. Copy the legal description from the record for the parcel near Blythewood before you request a deed or survey.
A word on accuracy
Acreage on the record is an estimate; only a licensed surveyor establishes the real lines for a parcel near Arcadia Lakes. Near Columbia, records update in batches, so a deed recorded last month might lag behind.
