    Buildings or spaces within buildings are not allowed to be occupied without a current Certificate of Occupancy issued in the name of the tenant occupying that building or space. In some cases, a Temporary Certificate of Occupancy may be issued for a fixed period of time to allow for minor repairs. All life safety requirements are required to be in compliance before a building or space may be occupied.
    This is an application and receipt, not a permit to occupy the building. Please call no earlier than 6 business days after applying (allow time for Zoning approval). To arrange an inspection, please call 864-467-5736. Calls will be returned within 24 hours if the inspector is not in.
    NOTE: A re-inspection fee of $40.00 will be charged for additional trips made due to the building not being open for inspection or as a result of required work not being completed within the time frame. The cost of the permit is $40.00, make checks payable to the City of Greenville.
