How to Request Greenville Records

Larger or more complex requests may need a written submission. The City of Greenville has a dedicated records request page at greenvillesc.gov/238/Record-Requests. That page explains what you can ask for and how to submit your request.

Here are the main ways to request records in Greenville:

• Call 864.467.5278 for law enforcement records

• Use the City of Greenville online records request form
• Submit a FOIA request through the Greenville FOIA Portal

Response times vary. Simple requests may be filled the same day. Others take longer, especially if they involve large files or need review. South Carolina law under S.C. Code Ann. Section 30-4-30 requires a response within 15 business days. Greenville offices follow this rule closely. If your request is denied, the agency must tell you why in writing. You have the right to appeal that decision.

Greenville FOIA Portal

The City of Greenville runs an online FOIA portal. FOIA stands for Freedom of Information Act. South Carolina's version is found in S.C. Code Ann. Title 30, Chapter 4. This law gives the public a right to inspect and copy government records. The Greenville FOIA portal makes it simple to submit and track requests from home.

You can access the portal at greenvillesc.justfoia.com/publicportal. The site lets you create an account, type your request, and send it to the right department. You get updates by email as your request moves through the system. This saves you a trip to City Hall. It also creates a written record of your request, which can be useful if there is a delay or dispute.

The FOIA law applies to most government records in Greenville. Some records are exempt. Medical files, certain law enforcement notes, and trade secrets may not be released. The law lists each exemption in detail. If you are not sure whether a record is available, submit the request anyway. The city will review it and let you know. Most phone directory type lookups for Greenville government contacts do not require a formal FOIA request.

Note: FOIA requests to Greenville city offices are free to submit. However, the city may charge for copies, staff time, or large file transfers. Fees must be reasonable under state law.
