The objective of Code Enforcement is to promote a clean, healthy, and safe environment for the citizens of Greenville County. The Division is achieving this objective through the enforcement of local ordinances related to environmental control, junkyards, nuisance signs, substandard housing, and property maintenance.

Currently, there are several methods of reporting a potential code violation. However, before beginning the reporting process make sure that you have a specific address for the location in question and ensure the violations can be seen from public view. Next, you can call our office at 864.467.7090, visit our offices in person at 301 University Ridge, Suite S-3100, Greenville, 29601, or complete an E-Service Request online. Please be advised, Greenville County Code Enforcement does not accept anonymous complaints.

The current code utilized by the department is the International Property Maintenance Code (IPMC). The IPMC was adopted by Greenville County, which regulates the minimum maintenance requirements for existing buildings. Greenville County’s code is a maintenance document intended to establish minimum maintenance standards for basic equipment, light, ventilation, heating, sanitation and fire safety. Responsibility is fixed among owners, operators and occupants for code compliance. The code provides for the regulation and safe use of existing structures in the interest of the social and economic welfare of the community.
