During our most recent Builder Breakfast, members asked Chief Building Official Buddy Skinner of the City of Greenville if they check ID when issuing a building permit. Skinner investigated and determined that they do not. But as a result of our request, the city began immediately to check ID when issuing a building permit. As a result, there should be less of a risk of an individual inappropriately using a builder’s license to pull a building permit.
At the same meeting, Chief Building Official Ruthie Helms, City of Greer, stated that they check ID when issuing a building permit.
