Age policy, housing, and daily-use rules
Quoted from Article II, Section 2.3(a) and 2.3(b) of the Second Amended and Restated Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions for Sun City Hilton Head, made in 2012 by Del Webb Communities, Inc. The Initial Declaration was recorded September 8, 1994 at Book 729, Page 1497 in the Beaufort County Register of Deeds, with subsequent amendments and a Supplemental Declaration recorded July 28, 2026 in the Jasper County Register of Deeds per the association's governing-documents index. This reports the declaration's text and is not an independent HOPA-compliance determination.
Current listing counts change frequently and were not independently verified beyond the retrieval date. The association homepage independently describes Sun City Hilton Head as "the largest active adult community" in the South Carolina Lowcountry, corroborating scale.
Quoted from Section 12.4(f) of the declaration. Specific current pet rules are set by Board resolution and are not fully enumerated in the declaration itself.
Quoted from Section 12.4(h) of the declaration.
