Marlboro County has about 480 square miles of land on South Carolina's northern border, between the Great Pee Dee River on the west and North Carolina on the north and northeast (U.S. Census Bureau, 2020). The Little Pee Dee River and Crooked Creek also drain the county. It lies in Fall Line hills, with rolling Coastal Plain in the south, and its loamy soils made it a leading cotton county through the 19th and 20th centuries (Britannica; South Carolina Encyclopedia). Cropland makes up 52,509 of the 78,300 acres in its 155 farms, and soybeans, cotton, corn and wheat lead crop acreage (USDA Census of Agriculture, 2022). As of September 2026, 1 parcel is listed on Acre Dreams in Marlboro County, 3 acres at $35,000 cash, with owner financing.

The county requires a building permit for work valued over $2,000, and its application checklist includes a septic tank permit, issued by the S.C.
