Greenville Spartanburg Asheville Anderson, SC, September 16, 2026 — Greenville County Council has recently approved significant updates to two key ordinances impacting residential development and towing services within the county’s unincorporated areas. The measures aim to modernize regulations and address evolving operational realities for local businesses.

The council passed revisions to the county’s zoning ordinance and land development regulations that specifically address open space requirements for new residential developments. These updates apply to projects located in unincorporated parts of Greenville County. The exact details of the updated open space requirements were not provided, nor was an effective date for these changes. The stated purpose is to refine how residential projects are required to incorporate or account for open space.

In a separate action, Greenville County Council also approved revisions to its non-consent towing ordinance. This update includes adjustments to the maximum rates that can be charged for towing services when a vehicle is towed without the owner’s consent. According to council discussions, these rate adjustments are intended to account for the increasing operational costs faced by towing companies. Specific figures for the new maximum rates or a list of the operational costs considered were not immediately available. The timeline for these revised towing rates to take effect has also not been specified.

These legislative actions reflect the council’s ongoing efforts to ensure that county regulations remain relevant and responsive to both community needs and economic conditions. Further details on the specific amendments to the zoning and towing ordinances are expected to be made public following their formal filing.
