Damage Assessment Update
Buncombe County inspectors conducting exterior inspections of all homes in Montreat will be finishing up today. This is mandated by the state of North Carolina. You do not need to be home for the inspection. They will not be inspecting the inside of homes, they are conducting exterior inspections only. Their assessments will let you know what may be needed to repair your home and will help us determine hazardous situations. They will not be offering money or assistance to help you with the repairs. Homeowners can apply for assistance through the FEMA website at www.fema.gov. The inspectors assisting the Town will be wearing government issued identification and working in teams of two. Please note, if you receive a tag on your home, follow up with the Town of Montreat at 828-669-8002. Buncombe County will not be issuing permits for Montreat. They are assisting with inspections only. Thank you for your understanding!
