Permits & licenses in Greenville County.
Greenville County enforces the model codes the South Carolina Building Codes Council adopted — and the Council says the rest plainly: South Carolina is a home rule state, and each jurisdiction interprets and enforces the adopted codes for that jurisdiction alone. The county counter holds the unincorporated parcels; each municipality holds its own.
- Greenville County Building Safety & Permitting, under the county's Code Compliance division, issues building permits and runs plan review and inspections for construction in its jurisdiction.
- County permits run through eTRAKiT; commercial projects carry a separate commercial plan review track.

How it moves
Your package is reviewed against the current Greenville County submission requirements before it's filed — forms, editions, scales, signatures. Then it's tracked in the queue and carried through comments. A resubmittal means the back of the line; the pre-filing review is there to help keep you out of it. The habit comes from volume: the team has processed 400+ permits annually across Maryland, D.C., and Virginia counters.
