Property boundary
1% Special Flood Hazard (100-year oodplain) boundary within or adjacent to project area
Floodway boundary (if within or adjacent to project area)

additional structures will be located. If multiple structures are shown on the Floodplain Development Permit,
building permits must be purchased separately.

Where base ood elevation (BFE) data is provided, the lowest oor elevation (including basement oor) must
be at least (4) feet above the established BFE. All attendant utilities, (i.e., electrical service, heat pump, air
conditioning systems, furnace units and duct work) also must be elevated at least four (4) feet above the BFE.
Structures located within or immediately adjacent to a stream where no base ood data has been provided or
where no oodways have been identied must comply with the most current Greenville County Flood Damage
Prevention Ordinance; including but not limited to sections 8-29.1.4 and 8-39. The Floodplain Manager’s ofce
will provide additional guidance on establishing a BFE.
Flood vents will be required for structures that are constructed or substantially improved within the Special
Flood Hazard Area (i.e., oodplain).
An Elevation Certicate or Floodproong Certicate will be required for structures that are constructed or
substantially improved within the Special Flood Hazard Area (i.e., oodplain). Residential structures may not
be oodproofed to meet Ordinance requirements.
Structures located within a Special Flood Hazard Area (i.e., oodplain) will require an Engineering Certication
for the support system. All foundations must meet the requirements of the Greenville County Flood Damage
Prevention Ordinance for anchoring, otation prevention, resistance to collapse and lateral movement of the
structure.
Structures located within Special Flood Hazard Area (i.e., oodplain) must have all State and Federal permits
prior to the issuance of any Greenville County permits.
5. No development is allowed in the regulatory oodway. Development in the oodplain may require an encroachment
evaluation by a registered professional engineer prior to permit issuance.
6. No Floodplain Development or Building Permit will be issued without the above written requirements.
All applicable information must be included on the application.
