What shapes a project in Spartanburg
Local conditions worth knowing before scope and budget are set.
Mostly pre-1980 homes
Census estimates for 2020-2024 count about 17,500 housing units in Spartanburg. About 68 percent were built before 1980, 35 percent before 1960 and 12 percent before 1940, while only about 15 percent were built in 2000 or later. About 63 percent are single-family detached homes.
Lead paint in older houses
With so many homes built before 1980, lead-based paint is a common planning issue. Paid work that disturbs painted surfaces in a home built before 1978 must be done by an EPA-certified firm using lead-safe practices.
Permits for residential work
The City of Spartanburg says any work done on a residential property in the city requires a residential building permit, issued to the owner or to state- and city-licensed contractors. The city also asks applicants to confirm the property is actually inside city limits before submitting.
