About each permit
Floodplain Development Permit (Greenville County Floodplain Administration)
Development, excavation, fill, grading or a structure in a flood zone needs a Floodplain Development Permit from Greenville County Floodplain Administration (301 University Ridge, Suite S-3200; 864-467-7523). The application covers types of development including excavation, fill, bridge or culvert, grading, structure, road, subdivision and utility in A, AE, X and shaded X zones, and its acknowledgment binds the applicant to "all applicable provisions of the Greenville County Flood Damage Prevention Ordinance." Per the form's instructions, the application must carry a South Carolina Professional Engineer's or Registered Land Surveyor's seal and signature (the Floodplain Administrator may approve a simplified version depending on lot size and characteristics) and be accompanied by two copies of a site plan showing the 1% Special Flood Hazard boundary. Base flood elevation, required and as-built lowest floor elevations, an elevation certificate, flood vents, flood-resistant materials and structural support certification are required for all structures in the Special Flood Hazard Area, and commercial projects provide floodproofing information where applicable. The county's Commercial Permitting FAQ states that additional information may be required if floodplain is on or adjacent to a parcel, and lists 864-467-7572 for floodplain questions. The Floodplain Administration page links the 2021 FEMA flood maps on the county GIS for checking a property's flood zone.
