On Nov. 19, 2024 the Buncombe County Board of Commissioners adopted changes to the County's Zoning Ordinance to allow for Emergency Housing in response to Tropical Storm Helene. See the attached document for a summary of those changes.
If you have questions about emergency housing standards we encourage you to reach out to Buncombe County Planning & Development, planners and floodplain managers are here to help. Remember, no two properties or situations are created equally.
The office is open Monday through Friday, 8 a.m.-5 p.m. Call (828) 250-4830, or email helenefloodpermits@buncombecounty.org (flood specific) or planninginfo@buncombecounty.org (all other inquiries).
