The City of Folly Beach Municipal Court is located on the second floor of City Hall, 21 Center Street, Folly Beach, SC.  If you wish to appeal a parking ticket, you have these options:

  • You may attend any court session, held every Friday at 9:00 AM before your ticket is due (30 days from the date of citation). Please enter the courtroom and be seated. The judge will call for parking ticket appeals and you will have the opportunity to speak to him at that time.
  • If you wish to have a bench trial in court with the officer present, you will need to request a court date in advance of the citation due date. Please fax your written request to the Clerk of Court, Anita Praytor,  (864.640.8785) and court date will be scheduled.  Be sure to include your mailing address in your request so the Court can properly notify you of the date.  Court is Friday mornings at 9am.
  • If you live outside Charleston County, you may submit a written appeal to the judge. Your appeal should be brief  (one paragraph) and include the original ticket.  Appeals should be mailed to: Folly Beach Municipal Court, PO Box 48, Folly Beach, SC 29439. Be sure to include your mailing address in your appeal letter.  You must live outside Charleston County to submit a written appeal.
  • Administrative Reductions (50% off the citation amount) may be requested Monday – Friday 9am-5pm, in the front office of City Hall. This option is available only once per owner.
