Buncombe County Adopts Changes to Zoning Ordinance

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.
