Housing

The Buncombe County Planning Board is seeking detailed input to write proposed regulations for short-term rentals during a series of planned public meetings.

The board is in the process of drafting text amendments to the county’s development ordinance related to short-term, or “vacation” rentals, which have sharply increased in recent years throughout the region.

Buncombe County and the Land of Sky Regional Council are teaming up to seek funding for affordable housing.
