A City of Dillon business license is required of all contractors and subcontractors that will be working on a job within the city limits. All construction projects must submit a listing of all subcontractors prior to beginning work. Final inspection will be denied until all subcontractors have purchased the necessary business license and permits.
Business licenses are based on the gross cost of the job. Rates for licenses are as follows:
City resident contractor | $70 for first $2,000 gross |
$1 for each additional $1,000 | |
County resident contractor | $95 for first $2,000 gross |
$1.50 for each additional $1,000 | |
Out of county contractor | $120 for first $2,000 gross |
$2 for each additional $1,000 | |
*** ALL permit types require a contract price be given even though the cost of the job usually has nothing to do with the cost of the permit. This “cost of job” category relates directly to business license.*** | |
(Am. Ord. 07-19, passed 9-10-2007)
All contractors involved with work on a residential structure are required to be registered with the South Carolina Residential Builders Commission. A wallet card will be required to obtain permits. Applications are available in the permit office. All specialty tradesmen are required to be registered. State licensed residential contractors will not need this registration card but will need to provide proof of license.
(Am. Ord. 07-19, passed 9-10-2007)
Tradesmen in the electrical, plumbing, gas and mechanical fields are required to provide proof of proper licensing. South Carolina Master Certificates will be accepted as will City of Dillon Master Cards. Other state licenses may also be accepted. After each individual card or state license is reviewed and verified by the Code Enforcement Office and the Board of Governors, a decision will be made on its validity. A twenty-four (24) hour wait may be necessary so that we may better research the credentials of a master tradesman.
City of Dillon cards are to be renewed on or before July 1 of each calendar year. Renewals will be reviewed annually by the Board of Governors. Contractors who have failed to acquire proper permits, pay fees, or fail to request permits or fail to request inspections will be denied cards. Failure to renew a card within ninety (90) days will result in cancellation of the license. A state license will be required before further permits will be issued. Effective July 1, 1994, the City of Dillon will grandfather those persons currently holding city master cards, all others will be required to show proof of a state license prior to permit issuance.
