The Greenville County Historical Department is in close collaboration between Greenville
County Government and the Greenville County Library System. It is the goal of these organizations
to preserve and protect historical properties.
County Historic Designation
Bailey Bill
The Bailey Bill (SC Code of Laws §4-9-195 and §5-21-140) authorizes local governments to offer a
special property tax assessment for rehabilitated historic buildings. The County’s ordinance was
amended in May 2013 to enhance the incentives to restore historic structures, thus making these
renovation projects more economically feasible for home and business owners.
Historical Resources Surveys
Historical surveys identify and promote the development and preservation of historical resources.
