The City of Greenville has reached a settlement with Camping World Property LLC, ending a legal dispute over the company’s oversized American flag at its Evans Street location.
Under the agreement signed Dec. 12, Greenville will dismiss the case with prejudice, rescind all prior zoning violations and civil penalties, and cover its own legal costs. Camping World is not required to remove or resize the flag.
The dispute concerned a 3,200-square-foot U.S. flag that exceeded the city’s ordinance limiting noncommercial flags in nonresidential areas to 216 square feet. By September 2025, civil penalties had reached $37,500.
On Oct. 6, 2025, the Greenville City Council voted 5-0 to drop the lawsuit and cancel all associated penalties.
The decision followed the Oct. 5 enactment of House Bill 926, the Regulatory Reform Act of 2025, which became law without the governor’s signature. The law restricts local governments from prohibiting U.S. or state flags on public or private property with the owner’s consent, unless documented health or safety concerns exist.
A News 12 investigation previously found the city had spent more than $25,000 on outside legal fees related to the case.
