Construction/Renovations you may need to have construction permits. If they are required, or you think that they might be, call City Hall between 9:00 and 10:00 a.m. and ask to speak to the Building Inspectors.

Permanent signs require a sign permit and the approval of the Building Inspector. The sign Installer/Manufacturer also needs a Business License.

Two Banners per quarter are allowed and they must run at the same time. They are good for 30 days only. They also have to be promoting a special event. You will need to complete an application at City Hall to be approved by the Codes Enforcement Officer. The cost is $15.00.

Business License Fees are based on the gross receipts of the Business. A new Business will need to estimate how much money they think the Business will bring in between the time you open and December 31 of the present year. The renewal for the next year will be based on income tax information provided to us by the business. The City of Simpsonville has the right to audit any questionable reporting of gross receipts at any time.
