Foundation repair in Greenville covers structural problems below and around the house: a basement wall leaning in, a slab or footing that has settled, or joists that need new support. Send a short description and an independent contractor who serves Greenville can contact you about an inspection.
Greenville's permit list
The village lists the projects that need a building permit, and "Remodeling of any sort" is on it [1]. It also covers anything else required by Chapters 85 and 320 of the village code [1]. Applications go through the village's online portal [1].
Timing matters. The village says that because of the volume of permits, issuing any permit may take up to five days [1]. Build that into your start date.
What Greenville charges
The village fee schedule, adopted December 22, 2025, lists a residential remodel permit at $100 plus $5 per $1,000 of project cost, with a $300 minimum, and says HVAC, plumbing and electrical permits are included [2]. Starting construction before the permit is issued means double fees under Chapter 85-14 [2]. The schedule doesn't name foundation repair, so ask staff which category your job falls under. The village also notes fees can change and suggests confirming with staff [1].
