How it works

Greenwood County posted a storm recovery update on its homepage saying residents repairing Hurricane Helene damage can apply for a permit fee waiver. The same update says refunds may be available for permits that were already paid during a specific period.

What the money covers

The county notice does not give a dollar amount. It says permit fees may be waived for qualifying repair work, and that some previously paid permit fees may be refunded.

Timing and deadlines

  • Permit fee waiver applications were accepted until 2025-03-07.
  • Refunds may be available for permits paid between 2024-12-01 and 2025-02-05.
  • The storm recovery update also says standard landfill fees for all debris resumed on 2025-03-03.

How to apply

The homepage text says to "Apply for a refund or waiver here," but it does not provide further application instructions in the text available here.
