The short answer
Updated October 2026

DirtFlight is not a drone photography service. To get aerial photos of land in South Carolina, enter the county and the APN, or draw the boundary on the map or upload a file. The pack renders in about ten minutes: an outlined top down, four cardinal 3D views, an 18 second orbit video, a hosted listing page and a parcel info sheet, with full resolution files of every view. Nobody flies out, so there is no travel charge, and it works anywhere in South Carolina. Dirt is $29 a parcel and Paydirt $79, or $199 a month for PayDirt Pro (20 Paydirt packs a month). Paydirt adds a contour map, the road frontage hero, the infrared land health view, the full social kit with platform captions, a posting plan and silent reels, pop-out photos from nine directions, the interactive 3D explorer and the measured diligence layers.

Why South Carolina is different

Planted pine, swamp branch, and the line between them.

South Carolina land is mostly planted pine and hardwood bottom, and the price turns on which is which and how much of it stays wet. Buyers also want the road frontage and the visible way in, because a tract with a locked gate on a paper road is a different tract.

A tract in Williamsburg County renders in the same ten minutes as a lot in Greenville County, and plantation rows, cutover and swamp read clearly from above.

Boundaries are approximate and are not a survey.

South Carolina questions

Asked by people selling South Carolina ground.

Which South Carolina counties can you do?

Any South Carolina county works. Send the county and the APN and DirtFlight renders the pack. If a parcel will not come up from its number, you hear that before anything is charged, and you can draw the boundary on the map or upload a KML, KMZ, GeoJSON or zipped shapefile instead. The pack comes back the same.

What South Carolina land do people order packs for?

Planted pine and hardwood bottoms, Lowcountry swamp and marsh, farmland and pasture, hunting tracts, and Upstate foothill acreage. Typical uses there: timber and hunting land, rural homesites, farms, and recreational acreage.

Can you tell planted pine from hardwood bottom?

Broadly, yes. Plantation rows, stand age, cutover and hardwood bottom all read differently from above, and the boundary shows which of them is inside your line. It is not a cruise and does not estimate volume.

Will wet ground and swamp show up?

They do. Swamp branch, sitting water, cypress and the dark ground that stays wet read from above, and the contour map shows the drainage on flat tracts where a foot changes the answer.

What is a TMS number in South Carolina, and is that what I enter?

In South Carolina, the number to look for is the tax map number (TMS) on the tax record. Enter the county and the APN as it appears on the tax record, or a street address, and DirtFlight draws the boundary. If a parcel will not come up from its number, you are told before anything is charged, and you can draw the boundary on the map or upload a boundary file instead.

What shows from above on South Carolina pine, swamp and farmland?

Planted pine in rows against hardwood bottom, swamp and standing water, fresh cuts, and the road that reaches the tract. The boundary is drawn on every view, and the imagery is the most recent aerial available for that county, usually one to three years old, with the date on the pack.
