Permit Required

Wind Zone
Ultimate design wind speed — verify with engineer
Snow Load
Ground snow load, minimum design
Typical Setbacks
Varies by zoning district; a site plan showing setbacks from all property lines is required at application.
HOA Risk
Moderate — many newer Greenville/Greer/Simpsonville subdivisions have HOAs with accessory-structure and material restrictions; rural tracts are largely unrestricted.
Pro Tip for Greenville County
Set up your eTrakit account before applying and have the manufacturer's stamped engineering package ready; metal buildings move through review fastest when the foundation/anchorage details are included up front.
