Permit rules change. Confirm with the building office before you plan.
Columbia's older neighborhoods, such as Shandon, Elmwood Park and Earlewood, have many houses from the early and middle 1900s. Summers are long, hot and humid, so attic ventilation, insulation and bathroom exhaust matter in any remodel. Inside city limits, permits come from the City of Columbia, and houses in the city's historic and design districts need design review before exterior changes. Outside the city, Richland County issues the permit.
