Permit Data for Greenville, SC

Permit data for Greenville, SC means the building permit filings published by the City of Greenville and Greenville County, pulled from each jurisdiction's public system, normalized, deduplicated, and matched to the contractor or owning business named on the filing. Pemberton Data Solutions pulls both Greenville sources on a regular cadence, the city daily and the county weekly, as part of a wider footprint of 55 city and county permit systems across 39 counties in South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia, and Tennessee, and delivers it as a scored workbook rather than a raw export you have to sort yourself.

Each Greenville row carries the address, the jurisdiction's own permit type string, the declared valuation where the source publishes one, the contractor or owning business, and the issue date. That last field matters more than it sounds: a blank issue date usually means the jurisdiction published the application before it issued the permit, which puts you earlier in the job than an issued permit does, and an older row usually means the project sat in review. Every permit is also graded on six signals: permit class fit, project clustering, valuation, owner type, scope keywords, and recency. That grade sorts it into Tier 1 (call first), Tier 2 (worth a look), or Tier 3 (context), with a written reason attached rather than a bare number.

Coverage is not uniform even within Greenville. The city feed updates daily; the county feed updates weekly. Some jurisdictions publish a declared dollar value and some publish none. When a field is blank in your file, that is the honest answer rather than a gap we papered over, and the coverage table below shows exactly which Upstate SC jurisdictions are pulled and how often.

What you will not find in this data is a homeowner's name. South Carolina's Family Privacy Protection Act, S.C. Code § 30-2-50, restricts using individuals' personal information from public records for commercial solicitation, so individual homeowners are never named in our permit feeds, free or paid. What we publish is business and entity information: contractors, builders, developers, and commercial owners. Residential permits carry the builder's name, which is the business you would actually call.

Territory Feed for the Upstate SC region, which includes both Greenville sources, is $500 per delivery. Territory Feed Pro is $700 and adds a builders sheet ranking every active builder with a named contact pulled from their own filings, plus owner mailing addresses where county data allows. A one-time delivery is available at the same price plus a flat $150, with no auto-renewal either way; you pay once, upfront, for the term you chose. A real sample month is available before you order anything.
