Woodlake Shores — Chapin, South Carolina.

Woodlake Shores is a residential subdivision in unincorporated Lexington County. The mailing city is Chapin and the ZIP is 29036. That mailing address is not the Town of Chapin. Address points tagged Woodlake Shores are all unincorporated, and the parcels in this set sit in tax district 5. On the auditor's TY2025 millage schedule, code 5 is “District 5 and District 5 FW.” Code 5C is the Town of Chapin. Woodlake Shores is not 5C.

The county master name is WOODLAKE SHORES. One polygon. NumberLots 12. SubType RES. Restrictions on GIS and in the restrictions index: book 5925 page 199. Woodlake Cove (Lake Tide Drive) is a different legal name. It is not this map.

Eleven of the twelve Woodlake Shores parcels are typed lakefront improved. One is residential unimproved (Lots A & B). This guide states that split. It does not invent a frontage distance from the dimension strings on some legal lines.

The Patrick O'Connor Team publishes Woodlake Shores information and updates.
