Property Management
Santee Cooper's Property Management division is responsible for the administration and management of the property along lakes Marion and Moultrie. The leasing and permitting programs exist to keep the Santee Cooper Hydro-Electric Project in compliance with requirements of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission ("FERC") license under which we operate and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
Current Permit & Fee Schedule
A Santee Cooper permit application must be submitted and approved prior to any improvements, modifications, construction or placement of any structures on Santee Cooper property. Complete plans and specifications must accompany the permit application. Once approved, permits should be posted and made visible from the lake and/or road. Please understand that failure to comply with Santee Cooper’s permitting program or restrictive covenants may result in removal of unauthorized structures by the responsible party as it is a violation of our FERC license.
We are pleased to provide the following information and forms for your convenience.
