Richland County handles building permits for all unincorporated areas and several smaller municipalities that contract for services. The City of Columbia operates its own independent building and zoning department for properties within its city limits. Development in unincorporated areas is subject to specific flood hazard overlays and stormwater management requirements managed by the county.
Richland County enforces a strict Land Development Code that includes specific requirements for tree protection and buffer zones in new residential and commercial developments.
Cómo encaja con el estado
La autoridad estatal aquí es South Carolina Contractor's Licensing Board; Residential Builders Commission. El expediente del condado no la reemplaza — añade la oficina de permisos, las reglas locales y el camino real de presentación.
