Greenville County Building Safety and Code Enforcement has transitioned to a new automated software system. All permits must be submitted through eTrakit. At this time, we have a two to three week processing period for permits to be issued. We thank you for your patience as we continue to get caught up.

Commercial Plan Review is responsible for the review of all plans for commercial projects including the building, structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, accessibility, special inspections and energy for compliance with the current South Carolina adopted codes. Fire reviews are coordinated with the local Fire Marshal’s office. A strong emphasis on life safety aspects of the proposed building is the priority of all reviews to ensure code compliance on all projects.

Plan Examiners are available for preliminary reviews, by appointment only. Preliminaries can be done on any project and are strongly encouraged on any complex project especially those containing Hazardous, Education, Institutional and Assembly occupancies or uses.
