Taylors is a census-designated place, not an incorporated city, so it falls under Greenville County for most services, including building permits. That also puts it inside the state's only EPA Zone 1 county.
Here's what the state's testing data shows for Greenville County: 5,220 initial tests through June 2022, an average of 3.4 pCi/L, and a maximum of 126.6. Compare that with the 1.7 pCi/L statewide mean in American Lung Association estimates, and Greenville County stands out.
Still, an average says little about a single house. The EPA recommends a fix at 4 pCi/L or higher, suggests considering one between 2 and 4, and urges testing in every home. A short-term test is quick and inexpensive.
Taylors homes: long-time owners, mixed foundations
About 23,200 people live in Taylors, and roughly 74% of homes are owner-occupied. The community is home to Taylors Mill, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, near the Enoree River, at about 925 feet in elevation.
Owners who plan to stay put tend to invest in a permanent fix once they see a high result. Many Upstate homes sit on crawl spaces or slabs, and older homes may have basements. Crawl space houses typically get a sub-membrane system: a sealed plastic liner with a suction point and fan. Slab and basement houses typically get sub-slab depressurization.
If you're adding on or building in unincorporated Taylors, permits go through Greenville County Building Safety at 301 University Ridge, Suite S-3100 (864-467-7060). The county's residential code includes radon-control methods for new homes.

Questions from Taylors homeowners
Taylors isn't a city. Who handles permits for radon work?
Taylors is unincorporated, so building permits and code questions go to Greenville County Building Safety at 301 University Ridge, Suite S-3100, phone 864-467-7060. When a mitigation job needs a permit, we handle the paperwork as part of the install and note it in your written quote so there are no surprises.
Can you put a radon system in a crawl space?
Yes. Crawl space systems use sub-membrane depressurization: heavy plastic is laid over the soil and sealed, and a fan draws radon from beneath it and vents it above the roof. Some owners add full encapsulation for moisture control. Typical ranges are $1,500–$3,500 for the radon system, with encapsulation priced by size and condition.
Should I use a free state test kit or hire a pro?
Either is a reasonable start. South Carolina's radon program offers one free kit per home while supplies last, and DIY kits work well when instructions are followed closely. A professional test, from about $150, adds a calibrated monitor and is common during home sales. Our DIY vs. professional guide covers the trade-offs.
