Permits, power and roofs in Bluffton

Bluffton's town hall issues building permits inside the limits, and Beaufort County handles the unincorporated pockets with Bluffton mailing addresses in between. Old Town's historic district has its own design rules for visible changes. Palmetto Electric Cooperative serves much of the area and Dominion Energy South Carolina serves the rest, so the reconnection paperwork depends on the street. Most houses date from the 2000s or later, with architectural shingle, some standing-seam metal in the Lowcountry style, and roof planes broken up by dormers and gables that limit where panels fit. Marsh-side lots on the May River take salt air, and the big live oaks that shade so many lots drop limbs and moss onto arrays.

In Old Town, near the Church of the Cross and Calhoun Street, approvals and old trees shape any work on the roof. In Palmetto Bluff, Belfair and Berkeley Hall, the design committee wants the array back exactly as approved. Around Buckwalter Parkway and the newer subdivisions, the issues are leaks at mounts on young roofs and systems whose seller closed after the sale.
