Confirm who handles the address before collecting repair records
A Greenville-area mailing address is not enough to choose a permitting authority. Confirm whether the property’s work is handled by the city, county or another municipality before asking for records. Greenville County’s Building Safety page explains its permit process and provides contacts for scope questions. For a house with prior alterations, make a separate list of work completed, work still needed and records you already have. Keep jurisdiction uncertainty visible rather than treating a search in the wrong system as a complete property history.
