Remain vigilant against fraudulent payment scams!
There is has been an uptick in false invoicing scams nationwide. Please note: payments for Planning and Development permits and applications should be submitted via the official payment portal, and legitimate invoices will only be sent from a columbiasc.gov email address. To learn more about how you can protect yourself against fraud, see the City’s press release.
CHANGING A STREET NAME
Pursuant to SC Code 6-29-1200, the names of established streets may only be changed upon approval of Planning Commission after holding a public hearing on the matter. SC Code directs that there are three instances in which a street name may be changed: 1) when there is duplication of names or other conditions which tend to confuse the traveling public or the delivery of mail, orders, or messages; 2) when it finds that a change may simplify marking or giving of directions to persons seeking to locate addresses; or 3) upon any other good and just reason that may appear to the commission.
