About each permit
Floodplain Development Permit
Development on a parcel in a mapped floodplain in the unincorporated county needs a Floodplain Development Permit from Development Services. The fee for a Lancaster County review with no adverse impact is $100.00 per instance, as published in the Lancaster County FY 2026-2027 Adopted Fee Schedule (the adopted schedule for the fiscal year July 1, 2026 to June 30, 2027, linked on the county's Fee Schedule Documents page as the "Fiscal Year 2027 Adopted Fee Schedule"). The same schedule lists separate, higher fees for reviews that go to FEMA and a $2,500.00 fee for a variance involving a floodplain, so a project needing a FEMA map revision or a variance pays more. A business site outside any mapped floodplain has no floodplain permit to obtain. Contact Development Services at 101 N Main St, Lancaster, SC 29720 to confirm whether a parcel lies in a floodplain.
