Zoning Verification Request Form
Print and mail in with check.

The Planning and Zoning Division issues zoning verification letters.

• Zoning Verification requests can be submitted online along with payment using a credit/debit card
• The form can also be printed and filled out to be mailed to our office with payment. Or can be delivered in person.
• Bring or send your request to:
  Greenville Planning and Zoning
  301 University Ridge, Suite 4100
  Greenville, SC 29601-3681
• Your zoning verification form must include the 13 digit tax map number, also known as the parcel identification number, for the property concerned. The street address(s) is not valid for verification requests. The tax map number or parcel identification number can be found on a tax receipt.
• There is a charge of $10.00 per request per parcel. We do not accept payments over the phone. Include with your letter a check or cash for $10.00 for each request.
• This office will complete the request within 10 business days after the receipt of payment and return it per the applicant's request, i.e. email, United States Postal Service, pre-paid Fed-Ex or similar.
• Parcels that are zoned NC, POD, FRD or PD have special provisions. Call the Zoning Department at 864.467.7425 to obtain additional information. A Zoning Verification Letter request for these zones will only include the classification. A FOIA request may be required for additional information and may involve additional fees.
