FROM LOCAL CONTEXT TO YOUR PARCEL

01

Locate the parcel within Buncombe County

Does Southern Crystalline Ridges and Mountains describe all of Buncombe County?+

The county’s mapped footprint intersects 3 regional units; Southern Crystalline Ridges and Mountains is the largest mapped share. County-scale information cannot establish the soil, slope, drainage, or development potential of one tract.

Can I request an offer without being near Buncombe County?+
